MANILA - Against a Thai team whose standard of ice hockey is"on another level", Singapore's game plan for the SEA Games final on Sunday was always about damage limitation.

"We followed our game plan and did our best not to let the Thais pull away with the score too much. We've worked 11/2 years for this and we're happy with the silver - because we were aiming for a medal," said the 40-year-old. Chew said:"This medal is very important because ice hockey has been played in Singapore for 20-odd years and this is the first time we've won a SEA Games medal.Thailand, the 2017 runners-up, scored three goals in the first period, two in the second and three in the third.He said of his saves:"In terms of energy levels, I was able to keep up with the game. But their skill is a little bit different from our team so we couldn't actually attack much.
