Ice Hockey Game in Pakistan Goes Viral as the Sport Continues to Grow
Ice Hockey is a sport mostly played in cold climates, so you would never expect a country such as Pakistan to be interested in creating its own rinks and teams.
For years, cold-climate countries like Canada, Russia, Finland, Sweden, and some parts of the United States have been able to dominate the sport of hockey.
However, in recent years, countries all over the globe have begun getting themselves involved in the sport.
Ice Hockey takes Pakistan by storm
For instance, countries like Jamaica, Bahrain, Lebanon, and even Kenya have gotten their own hockey teams.
Some of these places have even been able to secure IIHF status thanks to their continued growth and dedication to the game.
The newest country to be engaging in the sport of ice hockey is none other than Pakistan, located in the Middle East.
In a clip that is now going viral online, you can see numerous hockey players skating around a sheet of ice that isn't exactly 1-for-1 the dimensions of what most hockey rinks are.
However, there is a ton of enthusiasm for the game and there are plenty of fans in the crowd watching with excitement.
It is yet another example of how hockey continues to grow all around the globe and that hockey doesn't just need to be played in the cold.
If there is a will, there is a way and this is the mentality behind many hockey players, to begin with.
Hopefully, the country continues to grow its hockey programs and we hear more about their efforts, very soon.
No matter what, this is all very cool to see.
