Moldova men's national ice hockey team

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

They were an IIHF associate member, but it does not have a national team nor played in any international competition. The country did not registered at least one player. – AaronWikia (talk) 17:12, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: I've likewise found no evidence that Moldova's ever fielded a national team. It certainly has never appeared in an IIHF-sanctioned competition, let alone the worlds, and has never been ranked in the IIHF national rankings (which happens for teams that, well, play games).  The national federation's website doesn't reference any such team, and indeed sponsors only two club teams.   Ravenswing   00:12, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: They are not allowed to field a team in IIHF events yet, and there is no evidence they play friendly games against other sporting bodies (like Greece and Ireland do).18abruce (talk) 01:36, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - national team doesn't exist. Moldova's yet to play an official international game. -- Hockeyben (talk - contribs) 00:55, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: There are two ice rinks, but no IIHF standard rink exists. – AaronWikia (talk) 19:17, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:NSPORTS. Insufficient source provide significant coverage of this sports league organization. A search for other sources doesn't to come up with much, therefore fails WP:N. – AaronWikia (talk) 19:17, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
