The team, which departs on Wednesday for Bermuda, faces a daunting task at the tournament.

The team is drawn in Pool B with United States, Trinidad & Tobago and Chile, against whom they bow into action on February 7.

Jamaica Hockey Federation president, Victor Tomlinson, believes they can earn a place in the top four.

"We are confident we will be in the top four," he said, especially after receiving the donation from LogoStitch.

"We really appreciated it, because the girls need to be smartly attired. This will give them confidence," he added.

The winners of the tournament will advance to the World Cup to be staged next year in Argentina, while the best three will enter a play-off for another spot.

Beriah Boothe, managing director at LogoStitch, said his company is pleased to be of some assistance to hockey.

According to him, most attention is fixed on football and track and field, but all sports are important.

"We feel obliged to give back in anyway we can, especially in the development of youth and sport," he continued.
