History

Parents and grandparents grew up in Pakistan playing and watching cricket. They were either born in Canada or arrived in Canada at a very young age and invariably loved ice hockey as all Canadians do. Being new immigrants most Pakistanis could not afford to play ice hockey so they took to the playgrounds, streets, and parking lots to play ball hockey. The sport has evolved over the years from a street sport to the very highly organized and competitive leagues of today at the Regional, Provincial and National levels. To take it a step further, over the last decade, ball hockey has reached its highest level possible, the world championships.
