Pope Francis met with the International Hockey Federation and encouraged members to use the sport to promote peace and unity.

POPE FRANCIS
“It's also important to remember that the sport plays a very important role in growth and development. That is why the Church values sport in itself, as an arena of human activity where one can foster virtues of temperance, humility, courage and patience, and witness encounters with beauty, goodness, truth and joy.”

Pope Francis also congratulated them on including an Ethical Council in the organization. He asked them to use the sport as a tool for inclusion.

Before leaving, he was given a shirt decorated with the badge of the Vatican and his name, and a small figurine of a hockey player.
