Free hockey league matches in Longgang
Writer: Cao Zhen | Editor: Nan Nan | From:
Now until March 4, 2018, hockey fans will enjoy Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL) matches at Shenzhen Universiade Center.
The CWHL is a professional women’s ice hockey league established in 2007. The league comprises seven teams located in Canada, China and the United States, namely the Boston Blades, Calgary Inferno, Les Canadiennes, Markham Thunder, Toronto Furies, HC Shenzhen Kunlun Red Star and Vanke Rays.
HC Shenzhen Kunlun Red Star and Vanke Rays, based at Shenzhen Universiade Center, joined the CWHL in June. Each team is to play six games against its five rivals for a total of 30 games, 15 at home and 15 abroad.
The reason for leagues expansion into China is to help the nation develop its hockey teams. At the time of the announcement, the league was the second fully professional women’s hockey league in North America after the launch of the rival National Women’s Hockey League in the United States in 2015.
The Longgang district cultural and sports bureau is now offering free tickets to fans on its official WeChat account “szlgwtlyj.” One ticket actually requires 50 credits, but fans who register for membership on the bureau’s WeChat account can soon get 100 credits. Members can also get more credits by reposting events on their WeChat Moments, participating in questionnaires, purchasing event tickets, or just signing in every day.

最高端的冰球赛事就在我们的家门口，平时只能通过电视领略冰球比赛的缤纷精彩，如今有机会亲临现场——龙岗大运中心，感受冰球选手的英姿飒爽。
相比NBA、NHL、KHL这些大名鼎鼎的顶级赛事，可能大家对加拿大女子职业冰球联赛Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL)还有些陌生。
加拿大女子冰球联赛成立于2007年，是世界上最高水平的女子冰球联赛，目前共有7支队伍，分别来自加拿大、美国和中国，中国的两支球队为深圳昆仑鸿星队和深圳万科阳光队，两队在本赛季第一次加入该联赛。
之所以称为顶级，因为在加拿大和美国的俱乐部中，云集了多位获得过冬奥会、世锦赛的冠军成员，她们的加入使得整个联盟星光璀璨，比赛含金量十足，对于年轻选手而言，在这种高质量的比赛中具有重要的锻炼意义。
据了解，中国冰球协会与昆仑鸿星冰球俱乐部正共建多支国家队，并已在深圳组建深圳昆仑鸿星队和深圳万科阳光队两支队伍征战今年10月开始的世界顶级女子冰球联赛——加拿大女子冰球联赛（CWHL）。在回到深圳之前，深圳昆仑鸿星和深圳万科阳光已经在北美完成了第一轮的客场之旅。其中，万科阳光5场4胜积8分，在少赛的情况下高居联盟第三，展现了中国球队不俗的实力。昆仑鸿星则是在客场两次掀翻卫冕冠军，潜力大为可期。
在职业比赛期间，昆仑鸿星和万科阳光还会合并组成国家队，与北美顶级的球队“磨刀切磋”。这样全新的发展模式可以弥补此前赛事单一匮乏、对抗强度低的短板，从而让国家队的球员在不同环境下得到锻炼。在热身赛期间，中国国家女子冰球队也连续击败多个北美高校球队，其中不乏此前曾大比分战胜中国女冰的球队，足以证明球队整体水平的提高。
