MALAYSIAN Women’s Ice Hockey celebrated a watershed moment after securing their first title as a team at this year’s IIHF Women’s Challenge Cup of Asia (CCOA).

It was also a case of third time lucky for the three-year-old Malaysian squad after less than stellar performances in the past two editions of the same tournament.
