Szymon Szemberg: final decision will be taken upon full completion of investigation

At recent International Ice Hockey Federation meeting, Armenia was suspended indefinitely due to eligibility issues with their men’s national team that participated in the 2010 IIHF World Championship Division III Group B in Yerevan, Armenia.

The Armenians used several ineligible players and are suspected of having submitted wrong information about players of American-Armenian dual citizenship.

The results of all games involving the Armenian team do not count for the tournament.

As IIHF Communications Director, Szymon Szemberg told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, disqualification is not for individual players, but the whole team. Zero points in ranking is due to the disqualification. A final decision will be taken upon full completion of the investigation.

Earlier, RA Hockey Federation President Hayk Jraghatspanyan stated IIHF final resolution will be announced during September sitting.
