Peter Milkovich

Peter Milkovich (born October 17, 1966) is a Canadian field hockey player and coach, with a noteworthy playing career as a midfielder for his country over many years, including appearances at the Pan American Games and the Olympics, with 268 National Team caps.

A native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Milkovich came into the sport at age eight after his father started the West Vancouver Field Hockey Club. An avid ice hockey player until age twenty, he found that field hockey was a great way to stay in shape during the summer. He has appeared in two Summer Olympics for Team Canada (Seoul 1988 and Sydney 2000) and has played in every international game for Canada since the 1988 Summer Olympics. He helped lead Canada to silver medals at the 1991 and 1995 Pan American Games while scoring a career-high nine goals in Canada's gold-medal run in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since 1995, he has averaged one goal per game in international competition.

Milkovich has an extensive coaching background, serving as an instructor for the British Columbia Hockey Association (BCHA)since 1987 and the West Vancouver Field Hockey Club from 1988-97. While with the BCHA, he designed and implemented the first-ever hockey camp for boys in Canada. Milkovich went to the University of California in 2001 after an accomplished playing career, and served on the California Cup staff with head coach Shellie Onstead in May 2002.

A 1992 graduate of the University of British Columbia, Milkovich received a bachelor's degree in human kinetics and psychology. In 1994, he received his Post Graduate at the British Columbia Institute of Technology with an emphasis in strategic management and marketing.
