Team from Ladakh en route to their First Appearance at Hayley Wickenheiser’s Annual Tournament
After years of hard work on and off the ice, and thanks to special invitation from six-time Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser, the players from Ladakh, India will arrive in Canada for the first time. The team, who overcame strong societal and familial pressures in an effort to grow the game of women’s ice hockey in India, will compete in the ninth annual Canadian Tire WickFest. Before heading to Calgary, the team’s first stop is in Surrey, where they will play an exhibition game.
Canadian Tire WickFest is one of the largest and most celebrated female hockey tournaments in the world. After nine successful years in Calgary, the Festival is also coming to Surrey from January 31 to February 3, 2019.
