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.

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

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.

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 such an honor for them to do this for us. I can’t hold back my tears.” Neither could I.

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 !!!

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.

The point about the hockey moms hits some so hard. God bless those parents who care so much, who sacrifice so much

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!!

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.

incredible...thank you tim Hortons so proud of you doing that

Can’t stop won’t stop watching this. We need an update asap!!!!

I was so moved by this documentary! Sport can bring out the best of the human heart! BRAVO!

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!

I've been playing higher leagues of hockey here in British Columbia for 14 years now. I watched the shorter video when it first came out 2 years ago. Thought it'd be awesome to play with these guys. Now after watching this I may have to one day. Id love to meet them, teach them some stuff. Donate older equitment to the team, teach them all sorts of stuff. Shooting techniques. Skate sharpening equitment. Would be pretty awesome experience.

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!

Only just found this, what a beautiful watch. Thank you for your passion and commitment, One day guys who knows...

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.

It's hard to stop yourself from tearing up watching this! I totally love this! Thanks for uploading this video!

Still watching in 2023. The only thing missing was a rink full of screaming fans to cheer them on.

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.

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!

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!

For anyone who says the game cannot bond and unite the world -- watch this.

These guys do it for the right reasons. Where can I buy a jersey?

I am inspired, blessed and grateful that these brothers from Kenya are doing their thing as hockey players. That was a superb Film.

The absolute best thing, that I¨ve seen in ages :)

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!

I live 1000 miles away from the nearest Tim hortons and props to you

Wow they are very inspiring could'nt contain tears of joy for these young men

Tim Horton's is my favorite cafe store

Whether your on a street on my Rez in AZ or my hometown in Dayton Ohio...or blading down the Great wall...or scrimmaging in the savannah....when you got the puck on your stick 🏒 and it's you and the goalie or if your the tendy and it's the shooter....nothing else matters...no death nor taxes no petty squabbles....just the peace of knowing the simplicity either I score or I make the save. It's the most simplest of peace on Earth. One of the most aggressive games that breeds the kindest of players. Whether its game 7 of your street hockey game or Game 7 of the Lord Stanley's Cup...nothing....else...matters.
