Ulaan Bataar Hockey Tournament – Jan 29 – 31 2009

My Macau team is hoping to play this year in Ulaan Bataar but as is so often the case when we play outside Hong Kong, we are short some bodies. Do any of you guys want to play in this tournament, or know anyone who does? The deadline they have set December 10th so let me know ASAP if you want to play.

January 29th to 31st, Ulaan Bataar, fly in through Beijing, Cost USD 1000 per team, supposedly full contact, although I don’t know how much hitting I’ll be doing as it is an outdoor rink, Hotel 50 USD per night, hotel is apprently about 200 metres fromthe rink. Mongolians drink a lot of vodka and other stuff.

It’s the Beijing guys who organize it, check out www.beijinghockey.com for photos of the rink and other info. Right now we have 5 guys including a goalie who are solid if unspectacular and one old fat, not fast guy. (me)
