Then it will be against Anyang Fc and Daejeon Hana Citizen that will try to mute the Leopards. Seoul E-Land lost 2-1 the last time they faced Gwangju FC away from home. That match will be the return back to Mokdong Leoul Park and hopefully a better pitch. That will then be followed by a midweek game against Gimpo. It will all start with a trip away from home against Gwangju Fc. Seoul has a lot of work on its plate in the month of May. The Leopards have already dropped ten points away from home in this run. With Gwangju just around the corner, they will be looking to hopefully cause an upset. Seoul managed five points out of a possible fifteen in April. This result handed Gyeongnam their first win against Seoul on the 9th time of asking. Any good form or push from the Busan game was quickly subdued as Gyeongnam ran riot throughout the game and a 3-1 loss was given to the Leopards. It was a now a trip to Jinju to face off against Gyeongnam Fc. The last game saw Seoul once again move their home fixture at Mokdong.

Kim In-sung scores for Seoul E-Land in their 3-1 loss to Gyeongnam Fc in Jinju.Īfter picking up a total of two points out of nine, it was Busan and the Asiad Stadium that was the next stop. However, Daejeon were predominantly the better team on that occasion. It was then onto the Daejeon World Cup stadium to face off against an in-form Masa and his Daejeon Hana Citizens. Seoul started the first two games away from home against Jeonnam Dragons in Gwangyang, followed by Bucheon1995 in the Bucheon Stadium. Michael Redmond looks at what happened in April, and what is to come this month for Seoul E-Land. Moreover, May brings four games where three of the teams are looking to be named champions come October. That will be no easy task though as their first game of May will be against league leaders Gwangju FC. It was a run that produced some mixed results for the Leopards, so they would certainly like to end life on the road with a win and three points. The International Ice Hockey Federation required a plan for South Korea to have a team in the Olympic tournament on home ice.Seoul E-Land will start May with the last of a long stretch of away games in the 2022 K League 2.

With Paek in charge since the summer of 2014, Korea moved up two levels in international hockey and became a respectable, professional organization. Korea's fledgling hockey program not that long ago did not even have a skate sharpener and made its players return equipment at season's end. Many fans nearby sought selfies with the cheerleaders in the background and some South Koreans waved to them many of the cheerleaders waved back as they crossed a concourse to exit. The cheerleaders continued to chant even as the arena emptied. "You've got to accept it and go with it and be proud of what we're doing."Īfter it was over, the players lined up at center ice and bowed to the crowd, first to the end containing the cheerleaders, then to the other end, filled mostly with South Korean fans. "You've got to rally around it," U.S.-born forward Mike Testwuide said. The men's team has 18 South Koreans and seven North Americans - one from the United States and six from Canada - who are dual citizens. Unlike Korea's unified women's team - made up of players from South Korea and North Korea - the men's team does not have any North Koreans, and the appearance to back such a team was believed to be a first for the high-profile cheerleading troupe. The goal came right in front of North Korea's cheerleaders, who made an unexpected appearance. "I tried my best to perform the best that I can to show many fans that came here."

"I thought it would be amazing if I did more better," Cho said. Then they went wild when home-grown veteran Minho Cho notched another milestone by scoring South Korea's first Olympic men's hockey goal just seven minutes into the game. They roared at shots on goal, and it was so loud Paek couldn't even talk to his players. Fans filled 10,000-seat Gangneung Hockey Centre almost to capacity to witness history, and they cheered even when Korean players were simply carrying the puck up ice.
