Ice Hockey In Asia

When most people think of South East Asia, they think of tropical weather, relaxing by the beach, taking a dip in clear waters, or rounding off the day at a bar. They usually do not expect a burgeoning enthusiasm for ice hockey in Asia and some well formed and talented ice hockey teams!  However, this fast paced, thrilling and physical sport has taken off within the past twenty years or so, and is still growing in popularity. So if you think you’ve seen all Asia has to offer, think again!

A mix of expats from North America and Europe missing this exhilarating sport, and curious Thais eager to play, have led this demand for the sport and there are a number of Asian ice hockey clubs around the region.

It’s true that ice rinks are not common features of Asia, and it is also unlikely that you will have packed skates and sticks to go on your idyllic holiday to a tropical country, but don’t let that stop you.   Ice Hockey in Asia is a great way to meet new people, experience the excitement of one of the most popular sports in North America and get fit.  If you are living in Asia and are looking for a local team please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
