Article overhaul

[edit]

The article overhaul by User:FutureNJGov looks great! Could anyone verify the status of the Algeria national ice hockey team, the Kuwait national ice hockey team and the Morocco national ice hockey teams? Also, we made need to update the {{IIHF}} template. Flibirigit (talk) 17:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I would very much like to submit this to FL, but I know a lot of work needs to be done. Here's what comes to mind:

1. We need to create articles for each of those national organizations. I'm thinking at the least, we could create stubs based on the individual articles for each member nation.
2. Expand the article. It's not enough to just have a list; there must be more prose.
3. Pictures. Not sure what if anything we could put a picture of on there, but it wouldn't hurt.
That's my take on it. There's plenty more to be done, but the article as it stood was just hideous, and there was no organization behind it. Anthony Hit me up... 18:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I knoww there is some basic info on the IIHK website for the international organizations. But did you find any information for the three teams I mentioned? (Algeria national ice hockey team, Kuwait national ice hockey team, Morocco national ice hockey team). Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 19:10, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Algerian hockey team has a website, but I couldn't find anything for the other two. Note that they wouldn't be on the page, because they're not even affiliate members of the IIHF. However, according to the template, they're applying for membership somehow (which I can't find a source for either). At any rate, I won't have time to do any more work on this today, but I think if we could get some kind of template for national hockey organizations that we could use on all the pages (which have to be made anyway), it would help and make everything look a lot nicer.

I'm the one who put Morocco and Kuwait in there. I wasn't sure what else to do with them since the Navbox for Men's teams was merged into the IIHF template. Flibirigit (talk) 22:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

errors?

[edit]

Affiliate members only play inline hockey? That should be the case with Brazil. It once had an article: Brazil men's national ice hockey team, but it was deleted, after it turned they haven't played a single game of ice hockey.
And why exactly are Azerbaijan and Qatar members? Only because they have an association? They seem to have no activity.
After checking the IIHF site, I learned Qatar is indeed an associate member, not full. Others seem to be right, oddly. 85.217.34.67 (talk) 23:57, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ice Times says they were reinstated in September.18abruce (talk) 01:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-IIHF/non-existing member associations?

[edit]

These countries has not yet applied for an IIHF membership or these ice hockey associations does not exist?

Other (non-ice) hockey associations

The reason why the IIHF does not recognize those countries. The games have only played in Pakistan was field hockey due to lack of standard rinks and ice hockey activities. Bandy is played in Somalia, but no ice hockey activities exists. – AaronWikia (talk) 23:15, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Namibia withdrew from an IIHF membership and they are no longer an IIHF member. I think Namibia chose to play just inline hockey and stay with the International Roller Sports Federation (FIRS). AaronWikia (talk) 23:17, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
