Irish men's national ice hockey team is the National Squad run by the Irish Ice Hockey Association. The team gained promotion to Division II of the International Ice Hockey Federation in 2007, but after a poor performance in their Division II debut, the team has been relegated to Division III. They have not played in a world championship since placing 4th with 6 points in 2013. With the closure of the Dundalk Ice Dome they no longer meet minimum IIHF standards for participation. The team had members from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and has a working relationship with the Belfast Giants of the Elite Ice Hockey League and new Irish clubs, Flyers Ice Hockey Club and Dundalk Bulls. ==History== The Republic of Ireland was accepted into the International Ice Hockey Federation in May 1996 after a nomination by Great Britain and a second by Canada. They have not had a long history of international competition, with the Ireland senior team first competing in 2004. *First match: 16 March 2004: Reykjavík, Iceland: 8–3 Ireland *Largest victory: 8 March 2005: Mexico City, Mexico: Ireland 23–1 *Largest defeat: 13 April 2011: Zagreb, Croatia: 22–0 Ireland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ireland men's national ice hockey team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
