rom April 23rd to 30th, the Argentinean and the American
hockey teams played five matches at Popeye Baseball
Club, Salta, North of Argentina.
The result was 4 victories for the local team and one draw.
The importance of this more than satisfying result resides in
the fact that this was the first series under Carlos Retegui as new
Leona’s coach.
And even though it can be argued that the opponent is in a
lower playing standard than the local team (2nd vs. 9th in the
FIH rankings), the American team worked seriously and hard,
and this confers real value to the outcome.
The experience in Salta was indeed special. In a country which
has the bad habit of concentrating all important events in its
Capital city, Buenos Aires, all cities in every province are eager to
take the chance to encourage those who make them proud as
fellow Argentines.

And the case of Las Leonas is very singular. The team’s followers
are essentially young women, teenagers and children.
And in every corner of Argentina they are adored as true idols
–though amateurs-, with nothing to envy from any football or
show-business stars, no matter their big incomes. Salta was not
the exception, and during every match, hundreds of autographs
were signed and hundreds of pictures were taken with all Leonas,
either celebrity or rookie.
Among the attendees of the second test match was Salta’s
governor J.M. Urtubey, and American ambassador Earl Wayne
attended the fourth match.
The schedule of competitions that took place during that
week was very well planned; it was organized with creativity and
efficiency by the Salta Hockey Association, chaired by Ms. Sandra
Isola, together with the Argentinean Hockey Confederation
and the Province of Salta.
