Three teams, one Bosphorus skyline. Galaxy heads to Istanbul.

The whole academy on the road at once.

Dubai does not have a winter, so Galaxy goes looking for one. This October the club sends three squads at the same time, U10, U12 and U14, to the Istanbul International Youth Ice Hockey Cup: real ice, an international bracket, and a city built around a bridge and a skyline that belong on a postcard.

It is the first time Galaxy has sent three age groups to the same tournament together. Three sets of coaches, three benches, one flag.

U10, U12 and U14, all wearing the purple.

Each Galaxy team travels as its own unit: its own coaches, its own bench, its own games against the international field. The tournament runs three days, 15 to 17 October, on the shores of the Bosphorus.

The full itinerary, kit and trip details go out directly to families who register. If your child plays in one of these three age groups and you want them on the plane, message us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm the fit.
