Why are there no African teams in the Ice-Hockey world championship?
I mean, they ARE, like, the best athletes in the world.

Being a great athlete doesn't necessarily translate to the ice.
Ice Hockey world championships, your country has to qualify for them Mexico is getting better but I don't think they qualified
this year. For years, I have wondered why the Dutch who are among the best skaters in the world are somehow not better at hockey .. and yet they have many more years of on-ice experience than most any African .. but yes a lot of it also has to do with the fact that they have other priorites such as survival.

Because in general, Ice Hockey players wear very loose fitting shorts in practice. As such, it is easy for a "heavily gifted" man to accidentally flop out and start leaving 3 tracks on the ice, if you know what I mean.
That's the same reason you don't find a lot of us Cajuns playing ice hockey too.
Chilly, not to mention embarrassing.
Lae MAN U DOUBLE CHAMPS!!!!!!!!
dubai should have a hockey team in the iihf. lol. it would be made up of canadians and americans.
and really lol about your question. i know we africans are the best athletes of the world, that's why we have so many haters. :P

hahaha at nips reply. i don't know the girl, and i don't know if i should give her this credit, but the jamaica thing may be cause of how luge (a winter sport) is very popular with jamaicans, and also that they are into winter sports...maybe not hockey but other activities.

And they also have a lack of ice surfaces, and leagues. :) I believe that South Africa is the only African nation in the IIHF, but I',m not sure if they have a national team program or not
