History of Ice Hockey in Turkiye

It is known that during the years of our country’s War of Independence, soldiers from many countries played ice hockey on frozen waters in Istanbul for entertainment purposes and attempted to develop this sport.

Ice hockey started to be played by Turkish athletes in the early 80s, at the Atatürk Ice Rink in Ankara, the frozen pools of the Youth Park and the Korukent Ice Rink in Istanbul. Two groups of young people from Ankara and Istanbul, coached by American Officer Glenn Brown in Ankara and Sinisha Tomic in Istanbul, that started playing ice hockey with extremely limited equipment, despite the temperature of -15 degrees Celsius, played their first match on January 9, 1988, at the Ankara Atatürk Ice Rink in front of around 200 spectators.
