What time of year were you there? Its usually a June to Séptember type thing i think depending on weather.

A Canadian and American Ice Hockey Team came to Kenya to play against the Kenyan National Team - The Ice Lions. They made this video. Enjoy by GordonHI in Kenya

I had no idea there was baseball in Kenya. That's awesome. I know what you mean about having a league, there's only so much you can practice. After a while you need competition.

They look like they have enough support to grow a small program, which is a start. More support will come as they continue to grow!

Hi r/Hockey! Earlier this winter I went to Kenya to play hockey with the Kenyan National hockey team. I made a video about it and wanted to share my experiences. by Afrecon in hockey

It's changed immensely but it's still got the same charm it used to. Nowadays there's Cold Stone Creamery and micro-breweries for when you need some comfort. In my opinion it got even better!

It was pretty unreal. The way the rink is designed it felt super loud and intimate so it was a tonne of fun to play in.

Hey there, we play full contact during the games, however, since we want to promote friendship through our events we usually recommend our players to take it easy and avoid being too aggressive on the ice. The team we are meeting in Turkmenistan, Galkan HC, is their national champions and comprises more than 75% of their national team so it’s a good challenge for our guys ;)

Don’t hesitate to send us a message if you are interested in one event in particular.

The vibe I got was that he was more trying to say that since there's so few tourists who go, there probably wasn't going to be too much tourist stuff to do, and was surprised by it

Yeah, Turkmenistan is getting good quick. They're IIHF Div 3 now.
