HongKong Ice Hockey Association Limited (HKIHA), previously named Hong Kong Ice Hockey Association, was established in 1980. Our missions are to promote ice hockey and inline-hockey in Hong Kong, provide advanced trainings to the potential hockey players as well as organize various levels of competitions for Hong Kong hockey players in accordance with the international ice hockey rules. In 2002, HongKong Ice Hockey Association was officially registered as HongKong Ice Hockey Association Limited with the aims of better management, development and promotion of hockey in Hong Kong. HongKong Ice Hockey Association Limited is the registered full member with International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and the associate member of Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China.
Since the establishment of the HKIHA, we have been promoting ice hockey and inline hockey diligently. We have hosted different types of training sessions, camps, and activities to allow our members to participate and improve their level of games. We faithfully participate for every year Sport Festival organized by the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China and subvented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Every year, we have arranged for different participants to participate in the IIHF hosted camps and Asian Development Camps. By doing all of these, we hope our team players will be able to develop better skill and achievement in higher level.
In 2005, HKIHA hosted the first 2005 Hong Kong International Ice Hockey Tournament with participating teams from Thailand, Chinese Taipei and Harbin, China and proudly won the champion. We are also actively participating in International, Asian and China games. In 2007, we had participated in the Asian Winter Games
IIHF were actively involved in the Asia development. Asia Ice Hockey League was formed with China, Korea and Japan. Asian Ice Hockey Development Program was collectively designed for Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, Singapore, Mongolia and India to further enhance their skill with those experience instructors from IIHF. 2005 Asian Hockey Development Camp was hosted and operated by HKIHA at the Hongta Sports Center in Kunming, China
With the lack of funding and limited in a full size hockey rink, our Hong Kong players had overcome tremendous difficulties to stand proudly in the line of this league. We believe that Hong Kong has the potential to thrive in the sport of ice hockey and our future is bright. Our association will work very hard to promote this sport in Hong Kong and allow more people to enjoy one of the coolest games on the earth! |
