Leh’s rink is an irrigation reservoir which they flood every night they flood with the water underneath. By early afternoon the ice is pretty bad…actually, really bad…not only chewed up from play, but softens up in the near 40 degree temps and strong sun. Nights, however, are bitter cold…20 below or more…so the ice surface is solid by morning.
There is a rink down in the valley that has been under construction for the past 5 years, it is a simple rink (no cooling system) but a full size ice surface with space for fans…they even have a small “tow behind a tractor” type zamboni to use once completed. Many, however, feel that it will never be finished due to a lack of funds.
Military leadership…too bad the Ladakhi Scouts lost.

Were there any other cultures from around the world participating in the hockey game?
German, Swiss, Swede, Punjab, and other southern Indian groups participated. Some foreign teams couldn’t make it for various political and weather issues.
