Mexico joined the IIHF on 30 April 1985.[2] They played their first game during the 2000 World Championships, losing to Belgium (5–0).[3] Since then they have participated in every World Championship and are currently in Division II B. It is the only Latin American team that competes in IIHF tournaments.
