Hockey Travel Club South Korea 2027
Seoul · Korean Culture · Hockey Abroad
See South Korea. Play hockey. Experience it with people who get it.
In 2027, Hockey Travel Club by BLPA is heading to South Korea.
This trip is built around the same idea as every Hockey Travel Club experience.
Use hockey as the excuse to go somewhere incredible.
We’ll explore Seoul, play against local hockey clubs, experience Korean food and nightlife, dive into the country’s history and culture, and see a side of South Korea most tourists never get to experience.
Come by yourself. Bring a teammate. Bring your spouse or a friend.
You do not need to know anyone before the trip.
By the end of it, you probably will.
The Hockey
One of the best parts of traveling with Hockey Travel Club is getting off the tourist path and walking into a local rink.
We’ll play a series of games against local South Korean hockey teams, giving our players the chance to experience hockey culture in a completely different part of the world.
Players can expect:
- Games against local teams
- Transportation to scheduled games
- Group dinners on hockey days
- Hockey Travel Club / BLPA player swag
- Plenty of postgame beers, stories, and new hockey friends
The hockey brings everyone together.
The trip around it is what you’ll remember forever.
Seoul
Seoul is one of the most exciting cities in Asia.
It is modern, historic, loud, fast, traditional, and packed with incredible food.
During our time in Seoul, we’ll experience some of the city’s biggest highlights while still leaving plenty of room to explore on your own.
Potential experiences include:
- Explore Gyeongbokgung Palace and historic Seoul
- Walk through traditional neighborhoods and markets
- Experience the neon streets, restaurants, bars, and nightlife of Seoul
- Visit some of the city’s famous shopping and entertainment districts
- Discover Korean street food
- Experience authentic Korean BBQ with the group
- Plenty of free time to explore the city at your own pace
Korean Food
South Korea is worth visiting for the food alone.
Korean BBQ, fried chicken, dumplings, noodles, markets, late-night street food, and dishes you probably won’t know how to pronounce until someone puts them in front of you.
Food will be a big part of this trip.
We want you eating in local restaurants, wandering through markets, trying things you’ve never had before, and experiencing Korea beyond the places you would find on a normal package tour.
Beyond the Tourist Stuff
Hockey Travel Club trips are not designed to feel like you’re being marched behind a tour guide for ten straight hours every day.
We’ll have organized experiences and group activities, but we’ll also build in free time.
Go shopping.
Find a tiny restaurant.
Check out a neighborhood you saw on the train.
Stay out too late.
Sleep in the next morning.
It’s your trip too.

More Than a Hockey Trip
Most people will never pack their hockey gear and fly halfway around the world to play a beer league game in South Korea.
We think that is exactly why you should.
Hockey Travel Club is about seeing where the game can take you.
Different countries.
Different rinks.
Different cultures.
The same game.
Come for the hockey.
Come for Korea.
Come because ten years from now, you’ll still be telling people about the time you packed your gear and went to Seoul to play.
Play the game. See the world.
South Korea 2027.
