About the Team

The Tokyo Canadians are an amateur independent ice hockey team made up of ex-pat Canadians hailing from Vancouver Island to Prince Edward Island. In addition to the boys from the Great White North there are six Japanese and four American pucksters on the squad.

The Tokyo Canadians play exhibition games in Japan and also participate in tournaments throughout Asia.

The Candians have participated in tournaments in Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and annually in Thailand since 1997. Team members have also participated in tournaments in Las Vegas, Amsterdam, Dubai, and Mongolia.

The Tokyo Canadians won the Bangkok Tournament in 1998 and again in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2002. In November, 2001 in Chiang Mai, a depleted Tokyo Canadian team was swept out of the preliminary round for the first time ever. The 2001 tournament was won by Team USA led by Neal Broten of NHL and "Miracle on Ice" Olympic (Lake Placid 1980) gold medal fame.

2003 was the inaugral year for the Tokyo International Hockey Tournament, and another hugely successful tournament was held in December, 2004.

For more information on upcoming tournaments and previous tournament results, please see the Tournaments section of this site.

The Tokyo Canadians also host biannual fund raising parties, with partial proceeds going to support local charities such as the Y.M.C.A. Special Children's Fund (Tokyo) and Father Joe Maier's Human Development Center in Bangkok, Thailand.
