Ice Hockey Association is one of the few sports associations recognized by the United Arab Emirates government.[4][5][6] In 2018, new president of the EHL Vladimir Burdun was appointed. His role was to strengthen UAE ice hockey team and attract more business opportunities.[7] In 2019, Burdun announced the goal of entering a team in Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) which involved teams from Belarus, China, Finland,Latvia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Slovakia by 2021. He also aimed at getting more players ready for KHL. A new ice arena is expected to open in Abu Dhabi in 2019 which meets all the requirements of the KHL.[7] The plan was to replicate the recent success of a NHL team situated in deserts, Vegas Golden Knights. NHL and KHL stars such as Pavel Datsyuk, Sergei Mozyakin, Alexander Ovechkin were mentioned to inrease competitiveness.[8] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/14/world/meast/ice-hockey-united-arab-emirates/index.html|title=Ice hockey in the desert: Will fans warm to the sport in the UAE?|website=Cnn.com|accessdate=2016-10-17}} {{Asia topic|Ice hockey in}}{{Sport in the United Arab Emirates}}{{icehockey-stub}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.bt.com.bn/features/2012/07/07/ice-hockey-rise-middle-east |title=Ice Hockey on the rise in the Middle East | The Brunei Times |website=Bt.com.bn |date=2012-07-07 |accessdate=2016-10-17 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161018211230/http://www.bt.com.bn/features/2012/07/07/ice-hockey-rise-middle-east |archivedate=2016-10-18 |df= }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thenational.ae/sport/other/its-heating-up-in-the-uaes-ice-rinks-this-201516-season|title=It’s heating up in the UAE’s ice rinks this 2015/16 season |publisher=The National|accessdate=2016-10-17}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/01/sports/hockey/persian-gulf-nations-are-coming-around-to-ice-hockey.html|title=Slowly, Persian Gulf Nations Come Around to Ice Hockey|date=1 July 2012|newspaper=The New York Times}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www2.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=615662 |title=Hockey finds an unlikely home in Arabian Gulf | NHL.com - Across the Pond |website=NHL.com |date= |accessdate=2016-10-24}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thenational.ae/sport/uae-sport/popularity-of-ice-hockey-in-uae-drives-demand-for-two-new-rinks |title=Popularity of ice hockey in UAE drives demand for two new rinks | The National |website=Thenational.ae |date=2011-07-11 |accessdate=2016-10-28}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|author=Sam Bridge |url=https://www.arabianbusiness.com/sport/408438-how-russian-expat-aims-to-make-the-uae-an-ice-hockey-force|title=How one Russian expat aims to make the UAE an ice hockey force |publisher=Arabian Business |date=2018-11-23 |accessdate=2019-02-26}} 8. ^{{cite web|author=Aivis Kalnins |url=https://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Aivis-Kalnins/Russian-businessman-talks-KHL-expansion-to-Dubai/246/97875|title=Russian businessman talks KHL expansion to Dubai |publisher=HockeyBuzz |date=2019-02-20 |accessdate=2019-02-26}} 1 : Ice hockey in the United Arab Emirates |
