# United Arab Emirates women's national ice hockey team

The United Arab Emirates women's national ice hockey team (Arabic: فريق هوكي الجليد الإماراتي للسيدات) is the women's national ice hockey team in United Arab Emirates.

## History

In February 2018, the team embarked on an International trip to the United States. Their journey began in Washington DC where the team met the Washington Capitals. Their second stop was Chicago, IL. In Chicago the team watched two Blackhawks games, toured the locker rooms, and performed charity work for the community by training the youth players. Fatma Mustapha suffered an injury to the head due to a puck being shot; she did not require stitches and recovered quite fast. From Chicago, they visited Ontario. Upon arrival in Ontario the team had dinner with the UAE Ambassador to Canada.
October- November, 2018. The team travelled to Bangkok to participate in the Land of Smiles Tournament. The result was more of a learning curve than a championship title.
