Last week, the experts of our organization visited Manama, the capital of Bahrain. The main purpose of the visit was to exchange experience and conduct master classes for ice hockey players of all ages. How it was?

As we said earlier, the delegation of ADIHIC included four experts, including two coaches from the Ak Bars ice hockey system. Andrey Kazennykh and Andrey Makarov held several training sessions on two ice rinks in Bahrain for three days.

The practices were attended by children from the youth squad of the Bahrain Ice Hockey Club and the main squad of the women’s national team of the country. Also, players from the men’s national team were involved.

As the participants of the practices themselves told us, the training sessions were very fruitful. The arrival of the coaches of one of the best ice hockey clubs in Russia and Europe is a new unforgettable experience for all players from Bahrain.

“It’s a definitely a big change for us. The coaches from Ak Bars know all the steps from “A” to “Z” in working with children in hockey. We will learn from your experience. We have definitely learned a lot in these three days. We will definitely implement this practices into our trainings. It was a really great and new learning experience!” – shared Abdulla Mohamed Alqasemi, president of the Bahrain Ice Hockey Club.
