OUR BACKGROUND
Gary Tan, born in September 1979, is a distinguished Malaysian national ice hockey player and the captain of the Malaysia Wildcats. He began his athletic journey with roller hockey at the age of 15 before transitioning to ice hockey at 17, a sport he has passionately embraced ever since. A significant turning point in Gary's career occurred in 2005 when he spent four months in Toronto, where he conducted private and group coaching sessions. This experience significantly enhanced his skills as both a player and a coach. In 2010, he returned to Canada to coach at World Class Hockey Development under Jules Jardine, becoming Malaysia’s first internationally certified hockey coach.
Gary attributes his success to the unwavering support of his family, which has been instrumental in his pursuit of hockey. He taught himself the intricacies of the game through books and videos, dedicating countless hours to practice with friends. In 2007, as the captain of Malaysia’s national team, he scored his first international goal during the Asian Winter Games and had the honor of being the country’s inaugural Flag Bearer at the event.
Motivated by his passion for ice hockey and a commitment to the sport's development in Asia, Gary founded the G10 Ice Hockey Academy. His mission is to nurture emerging talent and guide them toward becoming professional hockey players.
