The Armenian team of hockey won the first in history victory in the
official match under the aegis of International Hockey Federation. As
RIA News informs, the qualified tournament in the third division
of world hockey started in Reykjavik where the weakest teams are
gathered. The victory in that elimination tour means a rise in class
next year. In its first match the Armenian team yielded to the Turks
with the score 3:8, but on Tuesday the Armenians defeated the Irishmen
– 6:0. Goalkeeper Lavik Ghazaryan formed the first “dry” match in
the history of Armenian hockey and forward John Ghazanchyan made a
heat-trick and assisted his partners twice.
A year ago the Armenian team was defeated by the Irishmen with the
score 1:23 in the analogical tournament.
