Elite ice hockey league CIHL and league sponsor Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) are proud to announce that International Christian School (ICS) will participate in the Adopt-a-School program.
(1888PressRelease) February 14, 2012 - HONG KONG - ICS, who runs a popular ball hockey program as part of their extensive extracurricular activities, will bring students and ball hockey players to watch Hong Kong ice hockey. While some students have played ice hockey, others have not previously watched the sport live.
Every week this season, the CIHL and RBC are partnering with a Hong Kong school to provide complimentary tickets for students and teachers to take part in two back-to-back Hong Kong ice hockey games at Mega Ice, as part of the Adopt-a-School program. International Christian School (ICS) will take part in some of the CIHL's regular season ice hockey games ahead of the playoffs, which begin on Saturday, March 10.
"Giving students an opportunity to be exposed to ice hockey in Hong Kong is one of the reasons why the CIHL and RBC started the program," CIHL co-founder and director Gregory Smyth said. "We're excited that teachers and students are enjoying the program and we hope to welcome even more schools to the Adopt-a-School program both this season and in coming seasons."
While there are over 1,000 hockey players of all levels in Hong Kong, the CIHL is the only contact hockey league in Hong Kong and in the Southern China region. As demand for high-level hockey continues to grow, the CIHL is looking to fill that need and create new interest in the sport.
The CIHL plays on Saturday nights through April 14, 2012, where fans can catch two back-to-back games featuring the Hong Kong Tycoons, the Kowloon Warriors, the Macau Aces and the South China Sharks.
