Congratulations to Yaqub Barnwell and @pakistanice

Congratulations to Yaqub Barnwell and @pakistanicehockey on their Division 2 Bronze Medal win at the 2025 @dreamnationscup in New Jersey 🇵🇰🥉🙌

Well done to Yaqub who scored his first senior international assist in the tournament. The team beat Mexico comfortably 12-1 in the round robin and only narrowly lost to Brazil and the Caribbean. They went on to book themselves a place in the bronze medal game to beat Mexico once again, this time an impressive 10-2 👏

What an amazing experience for Yaqub, as the Pakistan national team now look ahead to their next competition in August where they will be competing in the LatAm tournament in the sunshine state of Florida 🏒
