I-Slam Hockey is a non-profit charity ball-hockey league that offers Muslims of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) an opportunity to play in a safe and highly-competitive environment. Using an entry-draft system to disseminate players onto each team and fostering an environment of mutual respect, I-Slam Hockey is intended to bring Muslim adults and youths together on and off the playing surface.
I-Slam Hockey started in January 2008 thanks to the efforts of several people. Nauman Abbasi and Sadegh Rasoul spearheaded the efforts with a common vision of a ball-hockey league for Muslims that brought the very best - both hockey-talent and a high standard of personal conduct - together. Kashif Taqiuddin, Zuhair Fancy, Ibrahim Hindy and Fuzail Thakur all helped bring the dream to reality through their hard work. Khalil Khokhar joined in July 2009 to help further develop and grow the league. Each of these individuals has been vital to the league's success thus far and has committed numerous hours of their time to making I-Slam Hockey the torchbearer of Muslim Athletics.
However, I-Slam Hockey's success is built upon those who take part. We expect every person to treat I-Slam Hockey not as a league that they participate in but in THEIR league. This means that each person must take ownership over making I-Slam Hockey the best that it can be through their own actions, through teaching and encouraging others the right way and taking pride for being part of I-Slam Hockey.
Finally, all praise is to Allah (SWT) for making I-Slam Hockey as successful as it has been. May Allah (SWT) continue to bless the league and those who take part in it. Ameen.
