HOCKEY IN HOLLAND |
 Hockey was introduced in Argentina by English immigrants at the beginning of the 20th century, and the first women's teams were officially formed in 1909. In 1997, Sergio Vigil, a former player for the men's national team, was appointed coach. Under his leadership, Las Leonas achieved their first World Hockey Cup title, their first Olympic medals, their first Champions Trophy medals, and many other achievements. |

 Haarlem, 15mins from Amsterdam is the capital of the Provence of North Holland. The City is located on the river Spaarne, about 20km west of Amsterdam and near the coastal Dunes. It has been the historical centre of the tulip bulb growing district for centuries and bears the nickname (flower City) for this reason. The City is totally surrounded by a city wall and defensive moat. Beer brewing has remained a very important industry for Haarlem. |
