Athletes from Sponsored Club “DAISHIN” Selected for Japan’s 2026 Winter Olympic National Team

We are pleased to announce that several athletes from “DAISHIN,” the Kushiro-based women’s ice hockey club for which we serve as an official sponsor, have been selected to represent Japan.

For the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, seven athletes from DAISHIN were chosen to join the 23-player national roster (Smile Japan). Additionally, three athletes have been selected for the 2026 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship.

In recognition of this achievement, our company has presented tournament incentive grants to both the Olympic and U18 national team representatives.

Our mission is to foster an environment where athletes can pursue their goals with high aspirations and total dedication. To support the team’s growth, we have consistently provided performance-based awards for various tournaments—including the Excellence Award, Growth Award, Teamwork Award, and President’s Award.

Currently ranked 7th in the world (as of 2026), Smile Japan is set to challenge for an Olympic medal. Along with the U18 representatives who carry the future of the sport, we, as a company, wholeheartedly support their journey. We sincerely hope their performance on the ice leads to historic results that inspire the next generation.
