 Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2005 1:31 pm Post subject: Hockey in Kansai? (yes, I`m Canadian) |
 |
|
I`ve been living in Osaka for five months now...and I`m dying to play some hockey...it`s pretty much the only thing I miss from home aside from poutine. I was curious if anyone knows where, if possible, I could play ice hockey. I live near Asashiobashi, where they freeze over the Osaka Pool in the winter, so I know I can at least skate, but I`m looking for a league or something where I could play in organized games. Also, it would be a dream of mine to teach people, particularly children. If anyone has any leads on this...anywhere in Japan, I`d greatly appreciate it. I`m visiting home in August, so I`m hoping to find out before then so I can bring my equipment back with me.
Thanks,
Josh |

Hi Josh
I couldnt find much but there were a few websites and bulletin boards in Japanese on ice hockey. Not much use if you dont read japanese.
here is the link to the Japan Ice Hockey Federation
http://www.jihf.or.jp/
If you are in Osaka maybe a small ad asking for info in the Flea Market would help?

| Hockey? Girl's game. Grass was made for football (that's 'soccer' for any nationals of nations that are crap at football). Oh ICE-hockey. No idea. |

| Canadians never call it ICE hockey. It is simply hockey and everyone knows what we are talking about. |
