The Philippine women's ice hockey team remains optimistic about winning the gold medal in the sport's debut at the Southeast Asian Games, despite an opening 13-0 loss to host Thailand.
The team captain noted improvement throughout the game, with fewer goals allowed in the second and third periods compared to the first.
Despite the significant defeat, the Philippines feels it is still a strong contender in the region, especially after winning the gold in the 2025 IIHF Women's Asia Cup.
Thailand, however, proved to be a formidable opponent, registering over 60 shots on goal against the Philippine goalie.
