we definitely have the talent, if we were a normal nation, we could have had NHL start development leagues in Iran.

The article says we have 300 players in the league now. A u20 tournament also happened last week.

Gap is very big it seems still. I thought we would have a lot of half decent Iranian hockey players in Sweden, but Iranians are not really interested in hockey, even less than the other sports.

I think there is interest but the sport is pretty new in Iran, infrastructure are expensive and not a lot in the country
