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.
