Taipei Street Hockey?

Hey guys,

I’m pretty new to Taipei so I’m wondering if there is any regular street hockey going on in Taipei? If not, who’s interested in starting something? I would be willing to help organize it.

In Korea we had the Canadian Ball Hockey in Korea, cbhk.org/, and it was pretty awesome. They had playoffs, sponsors and even teams. They have over 150 players.

I know there is a bit of ice hockey going on in Taipei but I’m not looking for that here.

There is ice and roller in Taipei. Don’t know of much ball hockey except for the bunch of us that head down to Jiayi or Kaohshiung every year for their annual tournaments. Good luck with starting something; if you build it, they will come. Most of us are happy that we have ice though, and take full advantage of that.

there is rollerhockey in Taipei? where?

well sounds like there is no street hockey in Taipei. i think it’d be great way to meet Taiwanese and introduce some of them to hockey and get some expats together for some exercise too.

if you’re interested let me know. looks like we have to build it :stuck_out_tongue:

I play ice hockey twice or three times a week, so I’m good, thx. There is roller at the Datong sports complex and the outdoor surface in Banquiao. Not sure if any foreigners are still playing. I’ll ask around and get back to you. If you do want to organize something, pm me about joining the forum section of our league website and you can post something on our forum.

wow 2 or 3 times a week? i was looking at the CIHL but how do you join? isn’t it pretty expensive? i couldn’t find any information on the website about cost or how to join.

maybe it’ll be easier to just play ice hockey :stuck_out_tongue:

We have a 15 game season + playoffs in the Open Division for nt$6000 and a 12 game season + playoffs in the Development Division for nt$4800. We run two hour training sessions every Thursday for nt$500, so it’s probably less than you might pay in most big cities in North America. There is also a session every second Tuesday on the small ice in Ximending. A lot of the information is in our season outline, which is probably way down in the archives by now since we are about 2/3rd’s of the way through this year. But a lot of info is also available in our forum and, if you post about street hockey there, I’m sure you’ll find some guys who are interested. Let me know if you want to join , pm me a username and a password and I will set up an account for you.

I’d love to play street hockey if you get it going.

There will be a ball hockey tournament soon after the CIHL season ends, I think around early June. Details to follow
