On February 14th, the ice hockey competition at the 9th Asian Winter Games Harbin 2025 concluded, with the Chinese women's ice hockey team losing 1-8 to Japan, ultimately securing the bronze medal with a record of 1 win and 2 losses. Ten players from Guangdong were part of the team, all affiliated with the Shenzhen Kunlun Red Star Club. This marks Guangdong's first medal at the Asian Winter Games.

Among the ten athletes, some are experienced like Yu Baiwei, who competed at the Beijing Winter Olympics. There are also emerging talents such as Wang Jiaxin and Qu Le, who made a mark in the Milan Winter Olympic qualifiers. The team finished the qualifiers for the Milan Winter Olympics on February 9th before participating in the Asian Winter Games. Although China didn't secure a spot to compete in the Milan Winter Olympics, former captain Yu Baiwei scored in the competition against Japan.

In the three matches at the 9th Asian Winter Games, Guangdong athletes performed outstandingly. In the first game against the Republic of Korea, Fang Xin scored the first goal, with assists from Wang Jiaxin and Kong Minghui. In the second game against Kazakhstan, Qu Le assisted and Wang Jiaxin scored. In the third game against Japan, Yu Baiwei scored, and Kong Minghui assisted.

Despite Guangdong's limited ice and snow resources, there are still many talents cultivated, thanks to the Shenzhen Kunlun Red Star Club's development programs. Established in 2017, the club has supported the women's national ice hockey team and contributed to its growth. In the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, 16 players from the Chinese women's ice hockey team were from this club. At this year's Asian Winter Games, the Chinese men's ice hockey team finished fourth, with four players also from the club.

The club not only develops talent but also promotes ice hockey in Southern China. The national team trains and competes in Shenzhen, boosting ice hockey as a local sport. Zhou Song, a coach, has guided 60-70 local children from Guangdong to participate in the 3rd Revitalization Cup Shenyang Youth Ice Hockey Tournament, covering age groups from U6 to U14.

Since the Beijing Winter Olympics, ice hockey has gained more popularity, and attracted more people to engage. Many kindergartens, primary and secondary schools are eager to collaborate on providing experience sessions. Many clubs have also established a comprehensive training system. However, growing from a beginner to a professional athlete-to-be requires the child's commitment, talent, hard work, and family support. Zhou Song is optimistic that with the growing market, ice hockey in Southern China will see better development in the future.

广东选手首登亚冬会领奖台，冰球场也有南国梦

2月14日，哈尔滨亚冬会冰球比赛落幕，中国女子冰球队1比8负于日本队，最终凭1胜2负获铜牌。队中有十位选手来自广东，均隶属深圳昆仑鸿星冰球俱乐部，这也是广东在亚冬会的首枚奖牌。

十位运动员里，于柏巍等是经验丰富的老将，曾亮相北京冬奥会；王佳欣、曲乐等是新生代，在米兰冬奥会预选赛崭露头角。队员2月9日结束米兰冬奥会预选赛，就转战亚冬会。预选赛中国队虽未拿到入场券，但老队长于柏巍对阵日本队时进球。

亚冬会中国队三场比赛，广东运动员表现出色。首战韩国队，方新关键射门开门红，王佳欣、孔明会助攻；次战哈萨克斯坦队，曲乐助攻、王佳欣进球；第三场对日本队，于柏巍进球、孔明会助攻。

广东冰雪资源少，却能输送众多人才，得益于深圳昆仑鸿星冰球俱乐部的培育。俱乐部2017年成立，服务女子冰球国家队并共建。2022年北京冬奥会，中国女子冰球队有16名队员来自这里。此次亚冬会，中国男子冰球队获第四名，也有四名队员来自该俱乐部。

俱乐部不仅输送人才，还推动南方冰球发展。国家队在深圳集训、比赛，带动当地冰球氛围。周松带六七十名广东本土孩子参加第三届冰球振兴杯，涵盖U6到U14年龄组。

北京冬奥会后，冰球运动普及，更多人关注参与。不少幼儿园、中小学希望合作开展体验课，俱乐部也建立了完整培训体系。不过从初学者到准专业运动员，还需孩子意愿、家庭支持、天赋努力等条件。周松期待，随着市场体量增长，南方冰球能有更好发展。
