Overview edit

This will be the first IIHF-sanctioned tournament in India and will be expanded to seven teams.[1] The teams will be split into two seeded groups. Group A will include the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Chinese Taipei, and Kuwait and play in a round-robin format. Group B will consist of Macau, Malaysia, and India, playing in a double-round robin format. The top two teams in Group A will receive a bye to the semi-finals, while the bottom two will play a semi-final qualification against the top two teams from Group B.[1]

The United Arab Emirates won the tournament after defeating Thailand 3 – 0 in the final.[2] It was the United Arab Emirates' second title, having previously won the 2009 IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia.[3] Malaysia finished third after they defeated Kuwait in the bronze medal game.[2] Loke Ban Kin finished the tournament as the top scorer after finishing with 27 points, including 16 goals and 11 assists.[4] The United Arab Emirate's Khaled al-Suwaidi finished as the tournament's top goaltender based on save percentage with a percentage of 100.[5]
