MALAYSIAN National Men’s Ice Hockey head coach Kristof Kovago could not have asked for a better birthday present after his charges took top honours in Division One of this year’s IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia (CCOA).

The national squad’s performance, which was head and shoulders above the other Division One teams – India, Indonesia and Macau – earned them an unbeaten record over the six-day tournament at the Malaysia National Ice Skating Stadium (MYNISS) in Petaling Jaya.
