The Argentine Association of Ice and In-Line Hockey (Spanish: Asociación Argentina de Hockey sobre Hielo y En Línea) is the Argentine national governing body for ice and inline hockey, responsible for national men's and women's team, the selection of hockey inline, part of the IIHF World Championships.
Overview[]
Men's and women's team have participated at the Pan American Ice Hockey Tournament. Despite this, ice hockey events are organized by a different institution: the Argentine Ice Hockey Federation (FAHH) organize a metropolitan and a youth league in Buenos Aires and the End-of-the-World Cup in Ushuaia.[1]
The existence of two governing bodies is a difficult issue: while the AAHHL represents both national teams and it's recognized by the International Ice Hockey Federation, its players compete mostly on inline hockey; while FAHH players, who compete on ice hockey, can't be part of the national teams.[2]
