The first official hockey league in Thailand, the Bangkok Ice Hockey league (BIHL) was founded in 2014. The majority of the practices and games for the handful of teams in the BIHL are held at the two rinks inside of Central Rama 9 and Imperial World in Samrong, two of Bangkok's popular shopping malls.[2] Currently, most of Thailand's national hockey players are playing on the BIHL with a player as young as 15 years old.
