From January 31, 2020 to February 02, 2020, the Flying Farangs took part in the Northern Breakaway tournament in Chiang Mai.  In the first game, on January 31st, the Flying Farangs played the team from Chiang Mai. The Flying Farangs did win this game, but near the end of the game, forward David Boere got his hand caught in the netting and ended up breaking his hand.  He did finish the game, and tried to play in the second game that day, but only skated two shifts of the second game.

In the second game, the Flying Farangs played against Southern Wolf.  They did win this game as well, but not only did they lose Boere early in the game, but John Schachnovsky also strained his groin in the game.  At the end of the first day of games, the Flying Farangs had won their two games.

On the second day of games, in the first game, they played Hong Kong Transformers.  Although they were missing Boere with a broken hand and Schachnovsky was playing with a strained groin, they won this game as well.  During the game, Domnick Dumais strained his knee in the game.

In the second game of the day, the Flying Farangs played against the Chiang Mai Jokers.  As the Flying Farangs had already sealed their spot in finals, and they were playing with injured skaters, they didn’t put out their best effort and this game ended up being their first loss in the tournament.  Injuries were still plaguing the Flying Fanrangs and Tom Price strained his groin as well.

Going into the final game on Sunday, February 2nd, it was Flying Farangs against the Chiang Mai Jokers.  Starting this tournament, Flying Farangs had eight skaters and one goalie. Going into this game, the Flying Farangs were down to seven skaters and three of those skaters were playing with strains.  The Flying Farangs hung with the Chiang Mai Jokers for most of the game, but with the injuries to the Flying Farangs, the lost to the Jokers in the closing minutes of the game, 6-4.
