# Ice hockey at the 2011 Asian Winter Games

Ice hockey at the 2011 Asian Winter Games was held in Astana (men) and Almaty (women) in Kazakhstan from 28 January to 6 February.
For these games, the men were competing in a 14-team tournament, and the women in a 5-team tournament. Ice hockey preliminaries actually started two days before the Opening Ceremony of the Games on 30 January.
For the first time ever, there were two divisions in the male competition so as to avoid one sided games seen at the last edition of the games. India and Qatar withdrew and 12 nations competed in the Men's tournament. All games were played at the Kazakhstan Sports Palace (Arena 1 and 2) in Astana. Kyrgyzstan and Bahrain made their debuts at an international ice hockey tournament.
