Armenia national ice hockey team

The Armenian national ice hockey team is the national men's ice hockey team of Armenia. They are currently ranked last (48th) in the world due to a disastrous performance at the 2005 World Division III Championships which included a 48-0 loss to Mexico. The team has also failed to play a single game in the two previous world championships, which meant an automatic ranking of dead last in both tournaments. After finishing last in the 2004 and 2005 Division III tournaments, they won their first two games ever in 2006 defeating Ireland and Luxembourg. They are controlled by the Ice Hockey Federation of Armenia.
