We are just one week away from the Opening Ceremonies of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games! As Team USA makes its way down to Rio, Brazil, MAX Field Hockey breaks down Team USA’s schedule and when and where you can watch their games at home on TV. Most of the games are available on cable so you might want to upgrade your TV package with Infinity Dish (source here) so you don’t miss out on any of the action!
