Taipei women defend title Home team wins Women’s Challenge Cup of Asia The participating teams pose for a joint photo after the closing ceremony of the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s Challenge Cup of Asia Division I Host and defending champion Chinese Taipei won the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s Challenge Cup of Asia Division I on home ice at the Taipei Arena Ice Land in Taipei City. For the ladies from the island of Taiwan no hurdle was too big in the five-team round-robin event as the result in the final game between the two undefeated teams showed. Chinese Taipei beat Thailand 8-1 in front of 793 spectators in what became the tightest result for the home team. Previously Chinese Taipei had already beaten Malaysia, India and Singapore, as did Thailand in its first three games. Hui-Chen Yeh was the dominating player for her team as she led all players in scoring with 14 goals and 8 assists for 22 points earning her the Best Forward award. She and her linemate Ting-Yu Hsu each scored a hat trick in the final 8-1 win over Thailand. Yeh scored the important first two markers in the game against Thailand while Nuchanat Ponglerkdee tied the game at one at 4:59. Following that marker Chinese Taipei reacted with seven unanswered markers. Thailand’s Ponglerkdee was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament. She followed second in point scoring and was the best goal scorer with 15 goals and 3 assists for 18 points. Her teammate Sirikarn Jittresin was named Best Defenceman while India’s Noor Jahan won the award for the Best Goaltender. Singapore, which already participated in 2004 but missed out on last year’s event, earned a third-place finish after starting the event with an 8-1 victory against India while finishing it by defeating Malaysia 4-1. India and Malaysia were the newest countries to form a women’s national team in ice hockey. Both teams competed for the first time and collected important experiences in their debut. Both teams came to Taipei City under very different conditions at home. In Malaysia games and practices usually happen at an ice rink in a shopping mall near the capital of Kuala Lumpur while in India hockey is mostly played in the northern region of Ladakh close to the Himalayas where ice is only available during two or three months when the ponds are frozen. Malaysia had the better start when the two teams went head to head. Inarah Haniff opened the scoring after 27 seconds and had another marker 13 minutes later to make it 2-0. The Malaysians added another goal late in the first period and two more midway through the game for a commanding 5-0 lead. Then India reacted with a pair of markers from Tsewang Chuskit and another one from Stanzin Dolkar but eventually the Malaysian women’s team got its first-ever win, 6-3.

Really hope that Rybáriková will do it and increase our womens team to 3 athletes, also glad to see "Kližo" back in the ranking just pitty that this time most likely we will not have a mens double..

yes. wow. and when we imagine that only few years ago we played the olympics... the situation in our womens hockey is just a disaster and trust me as I see how the things works here the future looks even worse

SLOVAKIA ENTRY Kristína - Ta ne (won´t we?) Time for the Host Entry, For the TISC 2016 Slovak National Jury selected Kristína, one of the most known and famous Slovak singer and her song "Ta ne" which is a pretty particular song, because parts of the track were sung in a typical eastslovakian dialect. The words "Ta ne" are one of the most typical for my region. They means in fact: yes and no, according in which context the words are used.
