The Tourism Ministry on Wednesday supported the Kenya Ice Hockey League Friendship Tournament that was held at the Panari Hotel in Nairobi.

The tournament attracted prolific players from Kenya, Japan, USA and Canada who also took time to tour the country apart from taking part in the adrenaline filled contest.

The Ministry has pledged to help the Kenya Federation of Ice Sports to set up an Olympic size ice rink to help develop the rare sport in the country.
