Asian Winter Games

Ice hockey tournaments have been staged at the Asian Winter Games since 1986. The men's tournament was introduced at the 1986 Asian Winter Games. The Games were last held in 2017, but after complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic across Asia and the rest of the world the next event is scheduled to be held in the planned community of Trojena, Saudi Arabia in the northern hemisphere winter in early 2029.
