Yervant1 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hey Vava Jan watch out for your Montreal Canadiens, here comes the Armenian hockey team. HISTORIC 6-0 WIN FOR ARMENIA VS IRELAND IN DIV III European Hockey.Net News, UK April 26 2006 First ever win for lowest seeded IIHF member country. Armenian ice hockey history was written as Armenia's national team won its first game ever as it defeated Ireland 6-0 in the 2006 IIHF World Championship, Division III in Reykjavik, Iceland. John Ghazanchyan was the hero with two goals and three assists while Gevork Kandakharyan had one goal and three assists. Goaltender Lavik Ghazaryan was credited with the shutout, also a historic first. Armenia, who going into the championship was ranked 45th out 45 nations in the IIHF World Ranking, debuted in the IIHF World Championship program in 2004. The historic win came in Armenia's 10th world championship game. It is a remarkable result given the fact that Armenia lost to Ireland 23-1 only a year ago and 15-1 in the Division III championship two years ago.
