KUWAIT: Kuwait Airways won the National Ice Hockey title after defeating Sable 10-5 during the final match which was held at the Ice Skating Rink Monday evening.

The match was fast and competitive, as KAC controlled most of the match due to the organized attacks by its players and sound defence. The championship lasted for four weeks.

Deputy Chairman of Winter Games Club Khalid Al-Mutairi lauded the technical level of participating teams: Touristic Enterprises, Gulf Cables, KAC and Sable.

He said the distinguished level made the coach of Kuwait national team add nine new players to the team after their strong showing, and they will participate in the Gulf championship to be held in Qatar at the end of January.

He said the team will leave at the end of this week to hold a training camp in Sweden to get ready for the tournament.
