A Hockey Visitor from Alaska '02/25/08
(Visited 548 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!

hello,
how many referees do you usually have per game? Also do you play full 3 periods in one game? 20 minutes/period
hi joe!
there are 2 referees in a game. here are some game format:
• 5 on 5 Play (5 players plus a goalie)
• 3 minutes of Warm-Up
• 3 periods of 12 minutes running time (30 seconds between periods)
• to ensure the games start on time, teams will need to be ready to play at least 10 minutes before their start time.
see you, anita, penny and michelle in HK!
