Gia Greenidge created history as the youngest player to compete at the recently concluded Junior Pan American Hockey Championships.The now 13-year-old Greenidge, a student of the Coleridge and Parry School, was just 12-years-old when she suited up for Barbados in the Under-21 tournament, which was played at the Hockey Centre in Wildey.And even though Barbados’ women’s team didn’t have the best of tournaments, as they lost all four of the matches, that did little to damper Greenidge’s spirit.In an interview with Barbados TODAY, the diminutive forward/midfielder who has been playing hockey from the age of six, said she was grateful for the experience.She said it was even more rewarding to know that she had followed in the footsteps of her mother Dareece ‘Wrecker’ Greenidge and her grandmother Hazel Barker-Dyall, who both played hockey for Barbados.
