As the North American Hockey teams wind up their season with the Stanley Cup play-offs I feel like this is a good time to update those of you reading my blog just for the hockey on the outcome of the Kazakhstan hockey championship. As you may (or may not - which is also fine) recall, Almaty was knocked out of the play-offs sometime ago (just as the snow was beginning to melt on the Almaty streets). Ultimately it was the Atyrau team "Beybarys" who took home the Kazakhstan Ice Hockey Championship at the end of April. They won last year as well. This year they had to beat Pavlodar's "Ertis-Pavlodar" for the honor. The Beybarys won the series four games to two and won the last game 2-0. A friend of mine who saw the Beybarys play earlier in the season described the team as "big, fast, and smart." It is no wonder they keep winning. Any Kazakhstan Hockey fans out there feel free to add video and photos if you were at one of the championship games.
