10 Years of Friendship League – “Sport Connects Us, Friendship Defines Us”
Get ready for a trip that blends friendly competition, cultural discovery, and memorable moments both on and off the ice. This September, we’re heading to Ukraine—a place known for its warmth, resilience, and a hockey community that’s excited to welcome us.
We’ll meet in Chișinău, Moldova on September 6, get to know each other over dinner, and then travel together to Odesa, Ukraine on September 7. Once there, we’ll enjoy five games of friendly, good‑spirited hockey, connecting with local players, sharing the love of the sport, and building relationships that go far beyond the scoreboard.
When we’re not playing, we’ll take time to explore the beautiful Odesa region—its seaside charm, historic streets, lively cafés, and the unique cultural blend that makes the city so special. It’s the perfect chance to unwind, discover something new, and experience the local spirit up close.
After our final game, we’ll depart Odesa on September 12, return to Chișinău, and then head home on September 13—with new friends, new stories, and a deeper appreciation for a region full of history, heart, and hospitality.
This isn’t just a hockey trip. It’s a chance to experience community, culture, and connection while enjoying the game we love.
