If there are any updates on Iranian Ice Hockey team please let us know. I hope they can prepare and qualify for future Winter Olympics.

It is impossible for them to qualify for the next Winter olympics (2018). The team is new and didn't reach the level of asian teams yet(that are themselves nothing on the internation stage).
They were excluded from Asian games for weird reasons and didn't play much competitive games so far.

Looks like Iran's hockey team got kicked out of the 2017 Asian Winter Games.

Damn. I actually know a kid named Nickon who is a 6'8 Goalie that was called up for the winter games. He lives in my neighborhood and goes to my rival high school.

Lol I met a chick on tinder who's a member of Irans women team she said she can hook me up to go play for the mens team! They have recruited a lot of players from canada, sweden etc we actually have a decent team thats getting ready for the 2017 Asian games. Needless to say I used to play with Milan Lucic of Boston and Team Canada back in the day in Vancouver and always made him my bitch

Uzbekistan also positive about establishing friendly relations with Iran in Ice Hockey

So stay tuned, maybe next year we will see Iran travel to Tashkent for Ice Hockey.

Now Iran has so many Ice Hockey countries as friends:

1.Malaysia
2.Turkey
3.UAE
4.Kazakhstan
5.Kyrgyzstan
6.Georgia
7.Armenia
8.Uzbekistan

Maybe as Ice Hockey in Iran becomes more and more popular we will then see Western Europeans expressing interest in friendly matches or cooperation as well.
Western Europeans already cooperating with Iran in Inline Hockey.

The final roster for the national team is available on wikipedia. 20 players selected and only 2 other players will be added soon once the management select the two remaining spots. So far there are 5 players between the ages of 17 and 20 which is a good sign. It means that the management are thinking about the future. However there are also 4-5 players over the age of 30.

Mamnoon. We should say khasteh nabashid to Iran Skating Federation, The management of Iran Ice Hockey and Mr. Shavernev, afterall they did all the work. I only got all of them to talk to eachother

Actually regarding getting federations to talk to eachother I have been very successful. I wish I could do all these as a job so I get paid

Football

*The following friendlies that happend or about to happen were all my suggestions to federations:
IRAN vs 2012: Tajikistan, 2013: Oman, 2014: Guinea, Belarus, Montenegro, Trinidad, 2015: Sweden, Chile, Japan, 2016: Macedonia, Kyrgyzstan.
TAJIKISTAN vs 2013: India, Kyrgyzstan, 2014: Malaysia, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Belarus 2015: Maldives, Syria, 2016: Palestine, Turkmenistan.
AFGHANISTAN vs 2014: Kyrgyzstan, 2015: Thailand, Bangladesh, 2016: Lebanon
KOSOVO vs 2014: Senegal, Oman.

*The following friendlies were all my suggestions to federations but did not happen due to various reasons eg. refusal by head coach or federation or other cancellation:
IRAN: DPR Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Gabon, Ghana, DR Congo, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Peru, Palestine, Norway.
AFGHANISTAN: Myanmar.
UZBEKISTAN: Turkey, Turkmenistan.
There might have been many more friendlies which I don't remember.

*The idea of Central Asia Football Association to be created.

*Iran hosting Afghanistan's home matches for the 2018 WCQ/2019 ACQ matches.

Ice Hockey - IRAN

*HAPPEND: 1. Provided Iran with huge list of Ice Hockey players of Iranian origin.
2. Initiated contact with Kazakhstan/Kyrgyzstan which resulted in 2016 Almaty Camp and cooperation between those federations with Iran.

*Yet to happen: Got OK from Georgia and Armenia for them to cooperate with Iran but yet to see if happens.

Cricket - IRAN

*To happen in September: Women's cricket team will take part in an International Tournament in Greece. I initiated the contact with Greece which resulted in contact between Iran Cricket and Greece Cricket.

*Yet to happen: Tajikistan and Bangladesh expressed interest to play Iran's Men as a result of my suggestion to those federations/board.

I might have had few more successes but can't recall.

Very impressive work. It also shows that nothing is impossible and that you don't have to be a paid ''professional'' to make these things happen. It's a very good thing that you do.
