I wonder what is our margin of progress.

Don't know if we have a local league and more ice rink than the one of Iran mall

- There is a Men's League with 4 teams (3 from Tehran and 1 from Shahre Rey)
- There is a Women's League with 5 teams
- Ice Box is Iran's only standard rink used for all league games. Padide Ice Rink in Shandiz (suburb of Mashhad) is not standard and only used for recreational or unofficial local Mashhadi games, also Ice Skating training. Aramis Ice Rink in Tehran used currently for Ice Skating and Ice Hockey training in the past.
- There are more Ice Hockey women players than men (seniors), youth teams there are more boys than girls. U18 national team is grouped with Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and few other teams that I don't remember and will play sometime this month in U18 Asia Challenge Cup.

The good news is we wont relegate

Next year Iran will be in Division IIIB together with Hong Kong, Bosnia Herzegovina, Singapore plus most likely Thailand who will relegate from Division IIIA and either Mongolia or Philippines who will promote from Division IV.

Iran team is stronger than Malaysia, Indonesia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait defeated all of them throughout the years.

Iran vs Singapore is one win for each.

Iran is very weak compare with Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Bosnia Herzegovina, Hong Kong, Macau, UAE lost to all of them.
