Icehockey is one of the most popular sports in Ladakh, but mostly rural kids do not get a chance due to lack of
skates and equipment. In Ladakh, unlike Canada, ice hockey is played in the open of natural ice. Let the cold
breeze caress your face and let your blood boil, right in the middle of the winter months from midNovember to
January.
