Ice Hockey in Armenia
Ice hockey in Armenia is overseen by the Armenia Ice Hockey Federation, which has been a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation since 1999. The Armenian Men’s national team made its international debut in 1962 during the Winter Spartakiad Games, but it was not until 2004 that the team returned to international competition. In 2010, the team faced significant setbacks when it was found to have used ineligible players during the World Championships Division III, resulting in an indefinite suspension and the expunging of their statistics from IIHF tournaments. The Men’s National team return to international play in 2025, while the Junior team debuted in 2006. This overview highlights the history of both the Men’s and Junior national teams.
