A Hockey Visitor from Alaska '02/25/08
(Visited 542 times)Filipino-American, Rudy Molina, visited the country for a vacation last month. He contacted me through my website last December and he was surprised to know that there is hockey here in the Philippines. He’s a Forward/Defense player from Alaska, playing for the U.S. Air Force Base Team here (the Elmendorf Eagles / Raptors). He wanted to try out ice hockey here so he brought in his gear. Anyways, he played some Fridays (with Bantam and Men’s team in Megamall), Saturdays (with Manila Ice Vixens in Megamall), and Mondays (with International / Expats / really good players in Mall of Asia). It was cool hanging out with him and exchanging ideas about hockey. Also, he made new friends with almost everyone at the rink hehe.. Oh btw, he donated cages and gloves too. Thanks for that, Rudy!
Anyhow, hope you’ll visit us again soon. Thanks for being a part of MIV! ![]()
A Hockey Visitor from Switzerland '02/3/08
(Visited 516 times)A good friend, Jamil Mokhtar, from Switzerland visited the country last January for a three-week work plus leisure trip (on the side). We met him from our previous hockey tourney in Hong Kong last June 2007. He played for EHC Winterthur Team and Malaysian Team during the World Ice Hockey 5’s tournament. He is, by the way, half Malaysian and half Swiss. Jamil plays ice hockey for merely 19 years and he plays Forward/Offense. Also, he’s into snowboarding.
Anyhow, thanks for visiting! Next time you come back, bring your gear and lets play hockey! ![]()
