Thailand destroyed Kuwait 57-0 in one of the biggest hockey beatdowns ever

Last week Kuwait came second in the IIHF World Championship Division IV, but a couple of days ago the Kuwait under 18 team lost 57-0 to Thailand in the opening game of the U-18 Asian and Oceania Championship. source

57 to 0!

It’s now considered to be the 5th worst beatdown in international hockey history. Kuwait only managed 1 shot at Thailands goal while Thailand had 122 shots on Kuwait.

Keep in mind hockey is composed of 3 periods of 20mins each, so Thailand basically scored 1 goal a minute. Pretty crazy but the good news is, it’s not the worst beatdown ever. The worst beatdown ever goes to the South Korea vs Thailand match from 1998 where South Korea beat Thailand 92-0. 57-0 would put the Kuwait game 5th on the list.

Kuwait’s goalie actually managed to make 65 saves, so the blame can’t all go to him. This was also Kuwait’s debut at the tournament.

The tournament is taking place in Uzbekistan, with nine teams – Thailand, Kuwait, India, Indonesia, Iran, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia and the United Arab Emirates. You can watch the full game above.

Update: In their second game, Kuwait were losing 17-0 against Uzbekistan in the first period when they decided to forfeit the game.

I’d be more OK with this if it was Finland or Canada or something like that. But Thailand… that’s just shameful! It really is.

Thats an American Football score. Thats basically a MASSIVE insult. How do you get destroyed, conquered, invaded, & disowned all at once ? Did we even have players on the ice ? The kids in the film Mighty Ducks can do a better job.

It was their debut tourney, if anything respect to the young lads, they are doing more than you and I have ever done…

South Korea beat Thailand 92-0
and Thailand beat Kuwait 57-0

Can’t imagine what would happen if South Korea played Kuwait. Yikes!
