In September 2021, SCMP published an article which detailed multiple complaints against the association,from former coaches and players. [2] They accused the association of lacking transparency in corporate governance,as well as conflicts of interest between the chairman and the association,causing the development of the sport to be hampered. [2] Some of those interviewed claimed that they had been frustrated with the association from the 1990s,and that letters to the LCSD had not fixed anything. [2]
In July 2024,Kan stepped down as chairman and was replaced by Chan Yan Wing (Sherman),who headed significant changes within the association. Chan particularly focused on increasing transparency in Team Hong Kong's election process and raising coaching standards,to general support from the local ice hockey community.
