2024 So Far:
Pablo Pieres - winner of the Queen's Cup in the UK with Talandracas.
Hilario Ulloa - played the UK and US seasons with Park Place.
Francisco Elizalde - played for La Fe in the US season and Green Gates in the UK season.
Tomás Panelo - winner of the Gold Cup and US Open and finalist in the CV Whitney Cup with La Dolfina in the US. Played with White Crane in the Gold Cup in the UK season.

La Hache surprised many last year when they reached the finals of both the Tortugas and Hurlingham Opens. Although they were unable to find victory, they put in an incredible performance. Deadly accurate in front of goal both from the field and penalty line, they combine the powerful defense of Ulloa with the front running strategy perfected by Polito, supported by Elizalde who has proven himself throughout the UK and US seasons to be a force. Now adding to their attacking power with Tomas Panelo, they pose a serious threat to some of the more establlished teams.

The players in the team excel in areas including:

Steal
Ride-off
Combination Plays
Shooting
