They were supposed to make their debut at the 2018 World Junior Hockey Championship Division III Qualification tournament, but unfortunately they withdrew prior to the tournament starting. Created by an editor with a history of dubious hockey-related article creations. AaronWikia (talk) 02:33, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete until they make their debut in an international tournament. Though I find the accusation that I am an "editor with a history of dubious hockey-related article creations" somewhat offensive and uncalled for. Kaiser matias (talk) 02:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiser matias: Completely uncalled for in fact, but not unusual from this user. He just copies that comment indiscriminately onto deletion discussions since it was made about him so don't take offense. We kept the UAE article for 4 years before they played an official game so I am not sure what the hurry is here, but I don't disagree with deletion yet. They have international club matches but I can't find any detail of national team matches. I suppose recreating in April if they register to compete is not a big deal, but I would like to try some foreign language searches before voting.18abruce (talk) 16:57, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Until they actually ice a team this is WP:CRYSTAL and haven't really seen any references that would indicate notability either. -DJSasso (talk) 14:57, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Despite having a functioning junior system with international tournaments, I could find no evidence of an actual national team, only club teams.18abruce (talk) 14:55, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
