Manila's Mighty Ducks skate for gold and glory

Feisty Filipino squad aiming to surprise at Southeast Asia Games

MANILA - A shopping mall in tropical Manila closes to the public for the night, but a ragtag team of hockey players has rented the ice rink, aiming to make history in the Southeast Asian Games.

Dubbed 'The Mighty Ducks' after the 1992 Disney film, the Philippine men's national team is targeting gold when the SEA Games open in Malaysia on Saturday - a far cry from the days when the players only knew of the sport from watching movies.
