Ice Hockey in Malta
Ice hockey in Malta is not affiliated with the International Ice Hockey Federation and lacks a formal federation or association. Despite this, a group of players managed to form a national team, which participated in the CAE International Ice Hockey Tournament in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2005, with sponsorship from McDonald’s. Unfortunately, the national team disbanded following the closure of the ice rink in Malta and has remained inactive since that time.
