Facing unique challenges, including high costs for ice time and limited access to equipment, the Ice Lions have persevered. They manage to train just once a week, with rink time costing nearly $100 per hour. Despite these hurdles, the team's love for hockey shines through, making significant strides in skill development. Coach Tim Colby emphasizes dedication and passion are crucial to their journey, which has recently included international exposure and opportunities sponsored by local businesses.

The Ice Lions' partnership with international brands has opened doors for upgrading their skills. Notably, a trip to Canada allowed players to meet NHL stars and improved their resources through donations. Victory in an exhibition tournament in South Africa has underscored their potential and drive to succeed.

Beyond competing, the Ice Lions are committed to nurturing future talent through coaching sessions for younger players. They’re also looking to establish a female team and expand their roster. With aspirations to compete at the Winter Olympics, team members, including Mike Carlos, express a determination to showcase Kenya's talent on the international ice hockey stage, emphasizing that they’ve “arrived” and are ready to demonstrate their capabilities.

As they navigate the challenges ahead, the Ice Lions remain focused on their goals, all with an aim to make Kenya proud on the ice.
