In the winter of 2024–25, the National Ice Sports Championship — including the men’s and women’s ice hockey competition — was held in Naltar Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, transforming glacial slopes and frozen rinks into a national arena for winter-sport talent.

• The Championship saw participation of 12 teams from across Pakistan — seven men’s teams and five women’s teams from provinces and institutions such as Gilgit-Baltistan, Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, Pakistan Air Force (PAF), and others.
• Competitions included ice hockey, alongside other winter-sport disciplines like ice skating, curling, figure skating, relay races, and speed skating.
