Armenia was suspended from the IIHF in April, 2010, after it was found out that they used ineligible players at the 2010 IIHF World Championship Division III tournament. The country has been a member of the IIHF since September 22, 1999.
Famous quotes containing the word ice:
“Like the water, the Walden ice, seen near at hand, has a green tint, but at a distance is beautifully blue, and you can easily tell it from the white ice of the river, or the merely greenish ice of some ponds, a quarter of a mile off.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
