Team China game 4 Canadian Visit part 2

Sunday, Jan 31st 2010










Iceland Arena in Mississauga

Tonight Team China played one of Ontario finest OWHA team – The Mississauga Chief at Iceland Arena in Mississauga. Although this is the second time these two teams meet on the ice but this is a first time they are playing to a capacity crowd since they arrived and have all their practice game here in Ontario. Approximately twelve hundred local residences were on hand to cheer the teams.

Mississauga most popular Mayor Hazel McCallion who was a strong supporter of the Ontario Women Hockey Association was on hand with the Consul General of P. R. China in Toronto Madam Zhu Taoying to drop the puck for the face off.

Tonight success was in part the relentless effort by Mayor Hazel, Mr. Victor Oh and especially the hard work of Ms. Fran Rider President Ontario Women’s Hockey Association to show the Chinese Olympic team the Canadian hospitality and Olympic spirit.

Ice hockey is played in only Northern China. Although hockey is a relative new sport to the Chinese they have come a long way to have an Olympic team. Tonight game will be a great experience for these players to see the challenges against one of Ontario best team the Mississauga Chief. Unfortunately, Team China was unable to capitalized on their skill against the much more experience Mississauga Chief losing 4 to 1.
After the game the players were ushered to Emerald Chinese Restaurant in Mississauga for a tribute dinner for the Mayor of Mississauga organized by the Mr. Victor Oh and Mississauga Chinese Business Association. Minister of Labor Hon. Peter Fonseca who during the 1990s was Canada’s leading marathon runner and represented Canada in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and Hon Bob Delaney - MPP Mississauga-Streetsville also attended the diner.
