Hockey in Vietnam?

[Roach 0]

Would anybody know if there is any form of hockey in Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh)? I have googled this with unsuccessful results to date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ask your contact for work. If they are local, they might be able to confirm if there is even a rink anywhere near the city. If you can locate a rink, the next step obviously would be to try to contact them and see if they know of any hockey to watch/play. Good luck.

Not Vietnam but try contacting people here:

I know there other Asian Beer Leagues and they should be able to help you find one.

Thanks, Monty22 and SirJW!

Yes, fatwabbit, I'm moving. 2 year gig unless I finish everything up in a year. How's Perth treating you?

I know they do a lot of roller and inline skating so possibly there is roller hockey.Don't think they have ice though.

I came from Vietnam and do not recall ever seeing an ice hockey rink. I asked my parents and they said the 1st time they even saw a hockey rink was when I begged them to take me ice skating

Perth is a blast... cant wait for thursdays (hockey drop in) and fridays (indoor soccer league)...

other than that, Perth is pretty quiet, except near the river where I live (about 40m from the river). Everyone here seems to like water sports...

You have got to be kidding me.

I did some additional research and to date there is still no ice rink in Ho Chi Minh. I'm praying I can find a group that plays inline. Thanks for the help everyone!

sorry dude... checked with one of my buds in HCMC, and he says nadah.

Just bring all your stuff there and start a team? inline?

well according to the previous posts.

Venue:

Imperial World Plaza Ice Skating Rink,

Samrong, Bangkok, Thailand

And this is for 2007!

I can remember a Bankok Tourney being held there.

They must have a rink.

BTW Good luck in Thailand!

Nice resort areas!

Thanks for checking it out for me, fatwabbit! Appreciate it big time!

I'll definitely have my stuff with me in case I get the chance to fly out to play. I'm hoping I can find a few people that'd be interested in play inline. Let's see.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the well wishes, Sticks! I hate to do this to you, but I'm off to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam not to Bangkok, Thailand. In hindsight, I would've loved to have gone instead to Thailand, but I think I'll have way to much fun over there :P

For those who don't know, Roach has been the moving force behind growing the game in the Philipines. Good luck in Vietnam buddy, look forward to hearing about a team out of Ho Chi Min soon!

Thanks for the kind words, monoclub. I hope I have done enough so that the other guys pick up where I will temporary leave things. We'll see about a team coming out of Ho Chi Minh. It would be very nice to have that. I can't imagine not playing for 2 years!
