UPDATE: PERSON AT CENTRE OF ALLEGATIONS BY EGYPT ICE HOCKEY RESPONDS
«Please help! This community has always been supportive of Egypt Ice Hockey and helping developing nations spend the passion for Ice Hockey around the Globe. A certain Hockey Influencer Based in the UK has scammed us for the Past 5 months. He took money ($2000USD) to cover our first ever Ice hockey tournament last October 2021. He was going to come with his film crew (like he has done for Kenya) to cover the event. With all the coverage we have received outside of Egypt, it helps us in trying to build North Africa's first full size ice rink if we show all the interest worldwide it can provide. This is how our group has been able to gain official recognition from the Egyptian Olympic Committee as the group in charge of developing ice hockey in Egypt (a pivotal step in entering into the IIHF).»
"He canceled his trip and has promised to refund the money 12 times (within 24 hours, to us and a third party who intervened to sort out the situation). We have their passports, messages, emails and many witnesses. We asked for proof that they bought airline tickets for the event and have refused to provide it. We believe no tickets were ever purchased based on the conversation with their camera person who has been responsive. He was just advised the event was canceled. This has been ongoing for 5 months."
"They have many sponsors who are well known in the hockey world. They post videos weekly on their social media platforms reviewing equipment. Going public was a last resort but we need advice on what to do and how to handle it. We have confirmed we are not the first program he has done this to. We are NOT asking for donations, we just want our money back to be used for events like this:" (You can click here to see the article Egypt Ice Hockey included in the statement)
