Mr. Thomas Wu, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Ice Hockey Association, is proud to sponsor the Chinese Women’s Ice Hockey Team (CWIHT) from 2008 till the present. To show his determination to further assist CWIHT to go further in the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi, Russia, Mr. Wu has decided to continue sponsoring CWIHT by bringing in a world-class professional coaching staff, subsidizing the training costs and providing tournament prize money.
In early September, the CWIHT was invited and attended the Sponsorship Signing Ceremony during their first ever official visit to Hong Kong.
Spoken at the Ceremony, Mr. Wu anticipated that via the close partnership with the Chinese Women’s Ice Hockey Team, we will be able to allow the youngsters in Hong Kong to get to see more top-notch world ice hockey and to foster the development of the sport of ice hockey in the territory. Mr. Yu Tiande, the General Secretary of Chinese Ice Hockey Association was thankful for Mr. Wu’s continuous support for the national team.
A sport and cultural exchange dinner was held following the Ceremony. Guests included Ms. Chan Ah King, Mr. Pang Chung and Ms. Shelly Lee along with HKAHC Council Members and the captains of Hong Kong Amateur Hockey League teams.
