A number of returns to the international fold including Rotterdam
captain Jeroen Hertzberger headline European powerhouse the Netherlands
squad to travel to Australia for the December 1-9 Men’s Hockey Champions
Trophy 2012 at Melbourne’s State Netball Hockey Centre.
Joining Hertzberger on his return to the international ranks is Quirijn Caspers, Floris van der Linden and Seve Van Ass, who were arguably the biggest names left out of the Netherlands team that claimed silver at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Dutch coach Paul Van Ass was forced to make a number of changes to his squad, with regulars Teun de Nooijer, Floris Evers and Roderick Weusthof not in the group to travel to Melbourne after announcing their retirement post the London Games.
Van Ass will also be without the services of midfielder Robert Van der Horst, who will remain in the Netherlands to be with his wife, who is expecting their second child.
“In 2010 my first daughter was born two days before the Champions Trophy in Mönchengladbach and I played, but Australia is too far away. The birth of a child is special and I want to be present. In consultation with Paul (Van Ass) I decided I will stay at home,” said Van der Horst.
The changes will give a host of young and returning players the opportunity to impress head coach Van Ass at international level.
The Netherlands will line-up in Pool B against host nation Australia, Belgium and Pakistan.
Pool A includes London Olympic Games gold medal winner Germany, England, New Zealand and India.
Full Netherlands squad: Seve Van Ass (HGC), Sander Baart (Oranje-Zwart), Billy Bakker (Amsterdam), Marcel Balkestein (Oranje-Zwart), Pirmin Blaak (H.C. Rotterdam), Quirijn Caspers (Kampong), Jeroen Hertzberge (H.C. Rotterdam), Rogier Hofman (Bloemendaal), Tim Jenniskens (Bloemendaal), Wouter Jolie (Bloemendaal), Robbert Kemperman (Kampong), Floris van der Linden (HGC), Jaap Stockmann (Bloemendaal), Valentin Verga (Amsterdam), Klaas Vermeulen (Amsterdam), Bob de Voogd (Oranje-Zwart), Mink van der Weerden (Oranje-Zwart), Sander de Wij (Kampong)
