Why this matters: The success of the Puerto Rico hockey team in the Pan American Championship could raise the island’s profile in international hockey competitions and inspire local interest in the sport.

The Puerto Rican Hockey Federation continues to work with the national teams, with the group training hard in preparation for the Pan American Hockey 5 Championship. The championship, organized by the Pan American Hockey Federation (PAHF), is scheduled for December 1-10 in Montevideo, Uruguay. The team is training at the Mariolga complex in Caguas under the direction of national coach Jaime Rodríguez.

Federation President Katherine Pérez stated that each practice is an opportunity to strengthen the team, perfect strategy, and arrive in the best conditions for this international commitment. The team will be in group A alongside Trinidad & Tobago, Curazao, and Uruguay.
