Pucksters looking for people to join ice hockey team
A group of Chiang Mai residents, mixed Thai and farangs,
play ice hockey every week - exactly what everybody imagines doing when
living in a hot country like Thailand.
The boys on blades train twice a week, every Friday
evening from 21.00 - 23.00 and every Sunday morning from 8.00 - 10.00. So,
there’s no excuse for anybody to not pass the puck, as there is one
timeslot for the night owls and another for the early birds.
Anyone and everyone who is interested is more than
welcome, since it would be ‘cool’ to have more farangs training
together. Just come by during training hours to the ice stadium on the 4th
floor of Kad San Keow Shopping Complex or contact Stefan Rau, tel. 053 867
822, mobile 09 953 4981, or email tuinui_99@yahoo.de
Picture
yourself in this photo - hey, it could happen. And wouldn’t it be a great
one to send home to friends and family? “I’m playing ice hockey in the
sub-tropics.”
