The Global Girls’ Game 2025–2026 is a worldwide initiative organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to promote and celebrate female ice hockey players around the globe. In 2026, the main global activities took place during 6–8 March 2026, bringing together communities in many countries to highlight the growth of women’s ice hockey.
In Thailand, the Ice Hockey Association of Thailand (IHAT) organized its local celebration on 12 March 2026 at Sub-Zero Co-operative Sukhumvit–Ekkamai. The event gathered young players and experienced athletes to participate in a series of fun and inclusive on-ice activities designed to encourage participation and build connections within the women’s hockey community.
