The Jamaican men's national under-20 ice hockey team is the national under-20 ice hockey team of Jamaica. They are controlled by the Jamaican Olympic Ice Hockey Federation and has been an associate member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) since 18 May 2012.[1] The team have not entered in any World Junior Championship tournaments so far.

History

Jamaica joined the IIHF on 18 May 2012.[1] It is the first Caribbean nation to accomplish this.[2] In order to compete at the Winter Olympics, they must have full inclusion from the IIHF, which requires the nation to have at least one ice rink and a development program.[2] Jamaica currently does not possess an ice rink.[3]

Recently they have held tryouts in Canada to form a national team that can compete in the future Winter Olympics,[4] roughly two dozen players were part of the tryouts.[5] Due to the tryouts being held in Canada, some accused the team of attempting to "poach" from Canadian talent.[6] Former NHL player, Graeme Townshend is leading the tryouts in order to construct a national team.[6] The current stated goal of the organization is to have a national team compete in the Winter Olympics within next 20 years.[7]

The Jamaican junior national team made its debut on April 14, 2017, defeating Nova Scotia U20 5-1 in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.
