- There’s only one hockey team in Kenya. They have nobody to play. Tim Hortons brought them to Canada for a game. Experience the full story behind the Ice Lions and their unforgettable away game.
Kenya just voted in as a IIHF member :)
As a 54 year old hockey addict, I dream of the day I watch Kenya in the Olympics.
Qualification
you re going to die first sorry !
I think you may see that dream become a reality!!!!!!
Hope you are still watching :))
well they joined the IIHF today, next olympics
Welcome to iihf Kenya! 🇰🇪 So Happy for you guys! 😁 I wish you all the best from Finland! 🇫🇮
Crosby giving the guy props on his impressive skating! Watch out for Kenya in 10 - 20 years!
Dude, I hope so. I honestly hope this video just sparks something like a program being put in place in Kenya, just test who knows right?
Kenya will do well to regularly ice a national team in 10- 20 years...
10 years no way . the don t have Arenas Hockey association Coaches etc.... it takes a lot of money
@@choosenone2die They do now, mostly Canadian coaches.
you mean 100 years
CCM and Tim Horton's should sell these jerseys to the public and a huge portion goes to the Ice Lions. There WILL be a market
The jerseys are quite nice. The name is cool too
Man, that's tear-jerking. I need more Ice Lions content!
I had to hold it in lol
There are a few other videos. About them before this

17 minutes is not enough. Can we get a whole Hard Knocks style show on hockey? Do a whole series of episodes on this team. And then do others on hockey in other nontraditional countries. I can't be the only one who wants to see that.
Derfinitely agreed. It'd also be interesting to see the levels of 'non-traditional', Japan isn't 'traditional' but there's a lot more support for hockey there compared to say India, but India actually has a pretty long tradition of ice hockey in one region.
@@skaldlouiscyphre2453 yeah, Japan at least has some cold areas. It makes the game way more accessible. Ice hockey is pretty big on Hokkaido and northern Honshu. Indian hockey is mostly played in the northern mountain region where it gets plenty cold. And with S. Korea, the climate isn’t much different than my home State of Michigan. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Argentina has a pretty big hockey following, it would make sense given the climate.
Just saw that they got into the IIHF!!! They have came a long way!
“It’s such an honor for them to do this for us. I can’t hold back my tears.” Neither could I.
I shed a tear every time i watch this. The looks on their faces seeing the cup. The rink. Pictures of crosbys jersey. Then when him and mckinnon walked in room was a moment time stood still for me. For all the shootings. Tragic weather. Terrible losses of life. We still believe in this beautiful gift of life. And this moment is one of many examples why. Sharing a love of a game with breathing souls like ourselves. Cheers to tims. Sid. Nsthan. Team kenya. God bless for this.
this is honestly the story of the year for the hockey world. so happy to know that this sport is meaning so much to people in countries that you'd think had hardly even heard of it.
I’m fired up, I’m a teacher and former hockey player from Minnesota !! I wanna come down in my summers and coach theses guys!!! What a dream and what a movement sign me up Timmy !!!
I'm here after learning kenya has been accepted in the IIHF, after 5 years of hard work. Well done 🤟
Always find myself coming back to this. Their love for the game is contagious and brings such a huge smile to my face seeing the impact hockey has on people worldwide. Go Ice Lions!
Watching their eyes light up when they saw the Stanley Cup was truly moving ... that's what I call passion.
I love these guys, hope they brought back some of our maple syrup for the nice lady. LOL
It's a blessing, we need more Tim Hortons in the world as Kenyan, I hope Tim Horton won't let the seed which they planted to wither away, God bless you Tim Horton, God bless Canada, God bless Kenya!
I'm really crying.
My coach in high school told me that the most wins will come from the players from the most heart, those with big dreams and imagination can go anywhere and do anything.
He was a great mentor and friend who i lost to cancer in 2014.
Ben reminds me of the kind of gratitude that i had for my coach, showing me the ropes and pushing me hard in something i really believed in. That support system is SO IMPORTANT and it will make you go far.
We're so sorry for your loss. Your coach sounds like an incredible person, and even better mentor and friend. ❤️
@@TimHortons and because of that, I LOVE THIS GAME.
"Bring me maple syrup for pancakes" hahaha so funny. Proud Canadian here. Hope you guys had fun!
I have no idea why I found this just now, but for me sports have been the key to bring people together with happiness and joy, but also dedication and hard work. Our Finnish national team is called Lions (=Leijonat) and this hit deep just with their passion and exitement. They seem so honest, hard working pillars of their community that anyone can learn something from that.
Lots of emotions watching this hockey is the greatest sport it saved me from the streets! So happy for these boys from Kenya!
The love of the game is universal. ❤ We're so glad to hear that hockey has had a great impact in your life as well!
This is so pure I love it. I hope they're doing well.
I watched the video and was happy for these guys. Tim Hortons, thanks for the good deed! You gave these guys from Kenya a dream!
The point about the hockey moms hits some so hard. God bless those parents who care so much, who sacrifice so much
Came back to this after Kenya just got admitted to the IIHF, CONGRATS KENYA FROM CANADA
This is easily one of the best hockey videos on RUclips IMO.
Considering the limited resources these guys have had up to the point of when this experience happened. The Skill set and talent they showed in the game is quite impressive.
You not only have the best breakfast sandwiches and coffee and now this 😭I love you even more Tim Hortons
☺❤
incredible...thank you tim Hortons so proud of you doing that
I don’t know how I’m finding this now. This video needs to go viral. Tear jerking stuff. Welcome to the IIHF Kenya.
What a video! I want their jersey. I hope they took the goalie gear with them. Some very good skaters in the kid's team. They definetly deserved the trip, the pioneers.
How do i contact this team? I have a lot of equipment that i want to ship to them.
Internet is the key
contact tim hortons.
twitter.com/ken_icehockey?lang=en tweet to them?
Just out of interest, did you manage to contact them and send them the equipment?
They have a Twitter and Instagram page, Kenya ice lions, in the shorter version of the video, there is a gofundme page linked in the comments
That was Awesome. I was emotional, it's nice seeing family from around the World. One Love Africa!! One Love Universe!!!
I was so moved by this documentary! Sport can bring out the best of the human heart! BRAVO!
First you get me hooked with your coffee, then you make me shed tears of joy. Well played Tim Horton’s. Well played.
....,
Well played Ice Lions of Kenya.
Tim Hortons probably already sells Kenyan coffee, but what about one known as the official blend of the Ice Lions?
This is so awesome. 😭🙌
It's hard to stop yourself from tearing up watching this! I totally love this! Thanks for uploading this video!
They say in Kenya what we say in the US and Canada, and everywhere. "I play because it is beautiful"
And "I see this ice hockey and I dream someday I corps move like that"
How wonderful?!
Thank you Tim Hortons and CCM! I would buy an Ice Lions sweater in a heartbeat!!
Respect. Greetings from Poland ❤
Thanks. Greetings from Canada!
The mom that eats ands sleeps in her car just so her son can play hockey made me cry THAT IS LOVE! Damn good momma!
The absolute best thing, that I¨ve seen in ages :)
Watched this when it came out, watching in September 2024 again after hearing the news. CONGRATULATIONS on achieving IIHF partner status!!! Keep dreaming, keep working hard. The greatest buildings start with the best foundations.
Can’t stop won’t stop watching this. We need an update asap!!!!
Kenya was just voted in to the International Ice Hockey Federation.
Only just found this, what a beautiful watch. Thank you for your passion and commitment, One day guys who knows...
I wish there was more content like this on YT. This is amazing!! I love how they all got gear.
Props to Tim Hortons
This is great but Tim Hortons has gotten millions in free advertising and has donated ZERO to the Lions Go Fund Me for their league. They are trying to raise $250,000 to get a permanent league going in Kenya. Tim Hortons should step up and donate that money! Thumbs up if you agree please. Also tweet them too. It's a great story but all that free advertising should be worth 250K at least. Come on Tims!
They need MOAR MONEY
It says in the video that they helped with the funds
Buddy. That's not how companys work. Do you think Tims has 250,000$ just lying around. You know company use money to survive right??? They did so much to help them, they started the go fund me page. If they didn't do that then they wouldn't have had 250k. Don't be looking for more because they already gave them the world.
@@lukebowlby3848 Lol, Tims benifited millions from this in free publicity. Don't be a fool. Also they have way more than 250K laying around. When they were last publicly traded they had 110 million is cash reserves. That would be a lot more now.
@@sweetswing1 So! They did enough to help the entire country's hockey situation. It's sounding like you aren't grateful that tims even helped them.
Whenever I feel down. I come watch this video and it makes me happy. Hope u all are still playing hockey. 🥰
Our great game, one of our great staples in Tims, a country you would never think of having been impacted by our great game. That's a Canadian feel good story if i've ever seen one! It literally doesn't matter where you come from, when you come up and see that cup up close for the first time. It makes your eyes glisten! Love our game, love the story! Great job Tim Hortons! Props to Sid and Nate for being all over it and visibly enjoying themselves doing this! Studs!
These men are hockey real pioneers. There aren't many hockey players in the world that can claim they shook a pioneers hand.
Just heard about this - keep up the good work everybody involved.
Fantastic video!! Well done Tim Horton's!
Bring them back for more experience and Canadian/Kenya relations!
As a Born Pens Fan Of 50 Years Now,and Live In Pittsburgh..I Cry Every Time I Watch This❤️🙏🏻❤️Perfect When Your In Isolation❤️
How could anybody put a thumbs down, this is an amazing inspirational story. The people putting a thumbs down must just be nasty and negative by their nature.
they click the wrong button by getting to much water in their eyes
This is the coolest thing ever and one of a million reasons why I love hockey. But where can we buy some Ice Lions jerseys? Maybe proceeds could go back to Kenya to help fund the youth league there?
www.hockeyinkenya.com/kenya-ice-lions-hockey-team-jersey :)
they did sell the jerseys but they all sold out. they said they would notify ppl when the next batch comes out
the money did go to the Kenya team
Wow they are very inspiring could'nt contain tears of joy for these young men
As an aside, that would have been quite the experience for the other team from Toronto. Not just being part of the overall experience, but also being on the same sheet of ice and playing a game with Crosby and MacKinnon must have been an incredible experience for them as well!
This is beautiful. Stupid onions..... 🥺🏒🏒🏒
Someone's cutting onions near us too 😭
I am inspired, blessed and grateful that these brothers from Kenya are doing their thing as hockey players. That was a superb Film.
I want to see a Kenya hockey player in the NHL draft in a few years. 🏒🏒
Those jerseys are really nice.
Anna Roberts probably won’t happen. But these guys are pioneers of Kenya hockey. The new generation will teach to the next new generation, and it keeps going....until one day,
Theres one signed for sale
They’re currently on sale at Friendship League Shop, they’re selling jerseys to raise money for their league.
I will be fan of Kenyan national team , hope the best for them
I live 1000 miles away from the nearest Tim hortons and props to you
This was an amazing story i wish the best for the Kenyan team those jerseys were so nice 🔥🔥
Congrats Kenya on your admission into IIHF!!
Theyre not bad! For a hockey system based off of just watching highlights on youtube and figuring it out for themselves, its surprising to see their skills. Everyone here in canada learns from someone first hand but these guys learned for themselves amd thats awesome!
Tim Hortons, Sidney and Nathan gave these Kenyan guys happiness and spirit! Simple guys from Kenya who have chosen hockey arouse great admiration and respect. Good luck and prosperity to them. One day there will be a national team of Kenya and many ice rinks in this country, and not just one like now. Hockey unite peoples and countries !!!
Thank you Tim Hortons for giving them the experience of their lives, they absolutely deserve it!
I love this, this is honestly my favorite video of all time and will always be. It’s amazing the sports grow
So great. Love the story.
Okay, they're honestly incredible for self-taught and the rink they had - Kenya could be a really fun Olympic team!
The SOUND credit is missing my name. I was second unit on location sound when the Ice Lions faced the Mississauga hockey team.
Congratulations in getting into the IIHF!
Still watching in 2023. The only thing missing was a rink full of screaming fans to cheer them on.
I love everything about this. I am now an Ice Lions fan!
So beautiful video...wish Kenya hockey the best. Keep going guys. LOVE from Czech Republic
Genuinely inspirational and touching!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Geez. Those jerseys are fire.
Wow this touched my heart 🥺❤️❤️
I got tears of joy watching this❤ greetings from Finnland😊
Great story
These guys do it for the right reasons. Where can I buy a jersey?
AMAZING
Really wish more people would have seen this video!! great stuff. Really great people!.
Thanks for the love Bran. Totally agree, such amazing people.
Going for a double double tomorrow in honour of the Ice Lions
Me too
Wow...This is so awesome

❤ this story !!!
so heart warming and the joy those guys had, man that´s a real cinderella story with goosebumps all over
Wow! How inspiring was that. I got something in my eye halfway through! So cool for those guys. Where can I get an Ice Lions sweater?
I'm not crying... you're crying.
Am proud of you guys
Even a year and a half after this story came out, I still love it very much! Hopefully they can go to the next Winter Olympics in 2022 in Beijing! (well who knows thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and that this Summer Olympics in Tokyo got axed because of this too)
This is SO COOL 👍👍
Hockey in Africa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
