“This event will give Vietnamese hockey players the opportunity to gain experience while playing against stronger Asian hockey playing nations. Besides, it implements the Vietnam Hockey Federation (VHF)’s development plan to organise overseas events that can attract and grow the number of potential national hockey players in the country,” said James Chew, manager of the Vietnam hockey squad and CEO of VHF.
The team will be coached by Huynh Dai Phuc, who is the only qualified national hockey coach in Vietnam.
The event is organised by the Chinese Taipei Hockey Federation and endorsed by the Asian Hockey Federation.
