On May, Laura Macchiotti visited Nicaragua, where she received the required documentation from the Nicaraguan National Hockey Federation with the purpose of achieving recognition as a Member on the Congress to be held on July 19th 2015.
Throughout the four-day sessions of intense labor, both authorities of the Federation and the Olympic Committee worked with the PAHF representative to plan the development of hockey in Nicaragua.
Mr. Emmet Lang, President of the Nicaraguan Olympic Committee, and top head of the Managua Games 2017, met with Alex Romero, President of the Nicaraguan National Hockey Federation and Emerson Velásquez, Vice-president of the Federation, where all agreed that the outcome of including hockey in the Managua Games would be an enormous benefit for Central America.
This visit reaped rewards immediately, as the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua (UNAN Managua) came to an agreement through the Sports Director, Mr. Wilber Altamirano Martínez and the National Federation, regarding the official inclusion of hockey in the sports program. Professor Roberto Cabrera was appointed by the University to monitor the hockey project.
Over the weekend of June 20th, during the Managua sports festival, the UNAN will present hockey through a video, so athletes will be prepared for the arrival of the PAHF coach who will run coaching courses in September 2015. PAHF donated equipment to start the activity.
Working hours were brought to completion with the participation of the Executive Secretary of the Olympic Committee Mr. José Luis Huete and members of the Board of the Federation.
