2014年7月3日，香港 ─ 由香港業餘冰球會、香港冰球訓練學校合作舉辦的「2013/14香港小學校際冰球挑戰賽」，於2014年7月3日(星期四)在西九龍中心飛龍冰上樂園溜冰場圓滿舉行。

第一次參賽的保良局林文燦英文小學以全勝的姿態進入決賽，最終以3:2賽果，力壓去年的冠軍聖公會基福小學，勇奪冠軍寶座; 聖公會基福小學各球員雖然未能沖擊冠軍寶座，屈居亞軍，但各隊員一直沉着應戰，在球場上互有合作，奮力應戰，實在勇氣可嘉。

保良局林文燦英文小學球員李佩霖以及聖公會基福小學球員羅天情分別被選為最佳球員，而聖公會基福小學守門員黎智藝被獲選為最有價值球員，期望球員可以再接再厲，再創佳績！

開球禮由兩隊晉身總決賽的球隊隊長，連同香港冰球訓練學校教練總經理包比利先生、聖公宗小學監理委員會(有限公司)總幹事謝振強先生、保良局林文燦英文小學文詩詠校長及聖公會基福小學陳志榮校長主持。

香港業餘冰球會兼香港冰球訓練學校主席胡文新先生於頒獎禮後表示，非常感謝各參與學校的校長、老師、家長及所有同學的支持及作出的貢獻；特別是聖公宗小學監理委員會(有限公司)及保良局教育事務部對冰球運動的大力支持。

胡文新主席又表示:「隨着香港代表隊今年參與國際冰球聯合會(IIHF)舉辦的世界冰球錦標賽並以比賽成績成功打入世界排名，而明年二月，國際冰球聯合會世界女子冰球錦標賽外圍賽將會在香港舉行，是有史以來香港舉行的最高級別冰球賽事，所以香港需要培訓更多本地年輕冰球員。在未來的日子，香港冰球訓練學校將會繼續肩負孕育本地年輕冰球員的使命，植根本土; 香港業餘冰球會則會繼續舉辦更多符合國際水平的標準賽事，讓香港本土球員有更多參與世界性比賽的經驗。」

他期望，參與校際冰球挑戰賽的學生能夠透過冰球運動鍛鍊出強健的體魄及堅毅的意志，從中學習團隊及永不言棄的體育精神。

Mr. Thomas Wu hopes that students participating in the school league will be able to strengthen their minds and bodies through playing ice hockey, and also learn team spirit and sportsmanship as well.
