The Jamaica national ice hockey team is the national men's ice hockey team of Jamaica. They are controlled by the Jamaican Olympic Ice Hockey Federation and became an associate member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) since 18 May 2012.^[1] Jamaica is currently not ranked in the IIHF World Ranking and has not entered in any IIHF World Championship events. Jamaica made its international debut in 2019, at the Latin American Tournament, known as the Amerigol LATAM Cup, in the United States.

History

Jamaica joined the IIHF on 18 May 2012^[1] and became 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]

National team

On 6 September 2019, Jamaica played its first international game against other national team at the Amerigol LATAM Cup in Coral Springs, Florida, United States. They defeated Colombia 5–0 and later defeating Argentina 8–4.^[8] Jamaica went on to win the Amerigol LATAM Cup after a 3–2 win in a shootout over the defending champion Colombia.^[9]
