Vanke Rays
The Shenzhen Vanke Rays were a women's ice hockey team that played in the 2017–18 [CWHL season|2017–18 season] of the Canadian Women's Hockey League. They were based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China and played at the Shenzhen [Dayun Arena]. The team was developed along with the Kunlun [Red Star WIH] as part of the Chinese [Ice Hockey Association] in an effort to grow interest in ice hockey in China in preparation for the 2022 [Winter Olympics] in Beijing. Both teams debuted in the 2017–18 CWHL season. The general manager was Shirley Hon, who was named to the position on August 18, 2017.
In 2018, the CWHL contracted the Rays' membership after one season to focus solely on the Kunlun Red Star team in China. Shortly after, Kunlun Red Star was rebranded as the Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays as the CWHL integrated the two teams.
