2011 - SAIHA - Senior Mens Nationals

I  guess you can call it South Africa's grand stand event when it comes to local ice hockey.


The SA Senior Mens take to the ice this coming September for provincial pride, but more importantly as selections are made for the 2012 SA National Team to travel to Bulgaria for Div2 hockey.


The word on the street is that there will be 5 teams taking part this year, 2 from Cape Town and the 3 club teams from Gauteng's GIHA.


Game schedules should be released soon with the tournament taking place on the weekend of the 24th September 2011. Soon after the tournament the national squad will be announced where preparation will commence for the IIHF Div2 World Championships held in Bulgaria.


Teams that South Africa will be taking on are hosts Bulgaria, Israel, Mexico, Belgium and China. No doubt a tough group, Team SA will be looking to beat at least 2 teams to stay in Division 2 for 2013.
