Did you know that The Hockey Foundation is the exclusive place to pick up authentic & game-worn Team India jerseys from 2013-15? These make a great gift, especially since they come with a collectible hockey puck from our Guinness World Record setting event, and you support our mission to change lives around the world through hockey in the process! http://hockeyfoundation.org/team-india-jerseys-home #hockey #india #ladakh #jerseys #hockeyjersey #hockeygoeshigher #hockeywenthigher #howhockeyhelps #onepuckatatime #thisishockey #hockeylife #hockeyisforeveryone #weplaytogether @otbathletic @lagasportswear

The cat's already out of the bag, but we're so happy to formally announce that in February 2018 we set the @GuinnessWorldRecords highest altitude #hockey game! This event was about more than just setting a record, though. It was an opportunity for The Hockey Foundation to continue changing lives via hockey in the Himalayan region of #Ladakh. In addition to the annual equipment and coaching program that has been ongoing since 2009, we were able to donate a set of international-regulation rink boards to support the completion of an arena in Leh. Find out more information at: http://ow.ly/WvXx30k7bXX. Special thanks to our partners/sponsors: @Randstad #India, @HockeyShotStore, @AthleticKnit, @HarneyTeas, #GeronimoStars, @Hockey4all, and of course @GrandDragonLadakh & @LadakhWinterSportsClub for making this possible. Last but not least, thank you to all of the participants, without whom this event would also have not been possible. We know it wasn't always easy (stay tuned for a blog post about the event), but we hope everyone found it as enjoyable and fulfilling as we did/do. More updates to come! #hockeygoeshigher #hockeywenthigher #howhockeyhelps #onepuckatatime #himalayanhockey #hockeyisforeveryone #thisishockey #weplaytogether #youcanplay #hockeywithaltitude #nhl #hockey #himalayas #guinnessworldrecord

How to set a Guinness World Record. Step 1. Find a location deep in the remote Indian Himalayas. Step 2. Purchase and ship regulation hockey boards from Europe to and across India via Cargo ship, train and military plane. Step 3. Load boards onto trucks and send them over one of the highest mountain passes on earth. Step 4. Reconstruct boards with minimal tools on a frozen flood plane at 14,300 feet elevation in Arctic-like temperatures. Step 5. Invite hockey teams from around the world. Step 6. Add water Step 7. Play the great game that brings us all together. #hockeygoeshigher #howhockeyhelps #hockeyisforeveryone #thisishockey #hockeywithaltitude #himalayanhockey #onepuckatatime #weplaytogether #sharerespect #beagamechanger #youcanplay #nhl #hockeynight #india #himalayas

More about How Hockey Helps

This video was the culmination of many laborious hours (aka weeks) combing through months (aka years) of footage since my initial trip to the Himalayas in 2009. My incredible team at The Hockey Foundation wanted to make sure we did things right before we were finally ready to share what we consider a very special video.
