This wholesome video is going viral

This is incredibly awesome. Kenya and Bahrain have been officially admited into the IIHF and this great video of one of the players reacting to the news is going viral.

That Rink they’re playing in is 10 times nicer than the dump I play men’s league in! Way to go Kenya!

I’m so thrilled that hockey is taking off in Africa.

I was born and raised in South Africa, (my husband is from Zimbabwe) and our grandson who is first generation American in our family has been drafted into the WHL Med Hat Tigers this year.
He had an amazing opening game last Friday and was ranked top player.

His name is Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll, he’s also the only kid from Utah to be in the WHL as far as we know.

Love your channel and get your updates as much as possible!!

0:54 FIELD hockey is actually pretty popular in Africa as is. I remember visiting family members in Ghana two years ago and stumbling upon a relative's field hockey stick, which was pretty cool. Not that anyone asked but as of August of this year, Kenya is currently ranked 5th within the African Hockey Federation and 74th worldwide (in comparison Ghana is ranked 3rd in Africa and 34th worldwide). Anyway, this is a BIG BIG BIG inspiration to the rest of Africa and hopefully, Ghana will join Kenya in the IIHF in the future 🤞🏿

I saw that special about the Ice Lions and purchased their jersey right away. It hangs in my closet proudly right next to my NHL ones and I love to bring it out for special occasions. I always get great reactions and questions and I love supporting their pure love for the game.
GO ICE LIONS!!!!

The sport is growing, and I love that.

Anything that grows the game is great. I love that my home, Canada, tends to dominate, but I love the game so much that I like good competition more; plus, it’ll mean more when Canada wins again. Grow the game. Goalkeep, dont gatekeep.

They even got a pretty good crowd out to watch, considering how new/unrepresented the sport is there, that's awesome to see!
