Organized by the Hong Kong Amateur Hockey Club and the Hong Kong Academy of Ice Hockey, the 2017-18 Hong Kong School Ice Hockey League Finals (High School) were held at Mega Ice on June 26, 2018.
Before commencement of the final game between Wah Yan College, Kowloon (WYKLN) and Po Leung Kuk No. 1 WH Cheung College (PLK No.1), Mr. Thomas Wu, Chairman of the Hong Kong Amateur Hockey Club; Mr. Barry Beck, General Manager (Coach) of the Hong Kong Academy of Ice Hockey; Mr. Warren Chung Wai Leung, the Principal of WYKLN; Mr. Chau Chor Shing, the Principal of PLK No. 1; and the two team captains gathered for the puck-drop ceremony to kick-start the game.
WYKLN and PLK No. 1 have already played against each other in the Hong Kong School Ice Hockey League (High School) final for four consecutive years. WYKLN became the defending champion, thus bringing them to the throne in Division A of the Hong Kong School Ice Hockey League (High School).
The bronze medal match was also held earlier that evening, with Wah Yan College, Hong Kong (WYHK) vs. Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau School (CKY). The latter school eventually won the third place in Division A.
In Division B final, Po Leung Kuk Tong Nai Kan Junior Secondary College defeated Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College.
Andres Law of Wah Yan College, Kowloon and Wong Ka Shing of Po Leung Kuk Tong Nai Kan Junior Secondary College were awarded the MVP of Division A and Division B in recognition of their outstanding efforts and excellence performance.
This year is the 9th consecutive year of the Hong Kong School Ice Hockey League. Ice hockey has become popular within the school community, and the passion for sport has spread to students over the years. We are delighted to see that many former ice hockey players graduated from schools have taken up their roles such as on-ice and off-ice officials and coaches to support their younger peers. We hope that through the Hong Kong School Ice Hockey League, more students would participate in ice hockey during which they could learn about teamwork and the never-give-up-spirit that are in line with our slogan “We Fall, We Stand Up STRONGER!”.
