Andrew Griffiths at the Sydney Olympics

Andrew Griffiths (born January 11, 1969 in Sheffield, England) is a former field hockey forward from Canada, who started playing hockey at age eight in Bermuda.

Griffiths represented England Under 16 before moving to Canada and joining the Senior Team of the North Americans. Grifiths scored the now famous winning goal against South Africa in the 1997 World Cup Qualifying tournament: Canada came back from a 0-4 deficit to win the game 5-4 in the last seconds and the striker ended up sitting on the cross-bar. The resident of Toronto, Ontario created the Planet Field Hockey-website, originally called Off The Crossbar, together with teammates Alan Brahmst and Hari Kant.
