History

Ice hockey in Andorra as a sport began in 1987 with the opening of the Palau de Gel, the principality's only ice rink, in the town of Canillo. The national ice hockey association of the country, the Federació Andorrana d'Esports de Gel was established in 1992 and joined the International Ice Hockey Federation in 1995.[1]

However it was only in 2017, when an official Andorran national team was organized. The national team made their debut at the 2017 Development Cup which was hosted in Canillo. Andorra played Portugal, Ireland, and Morocco. The national team lost all of their matches in the tournament.[1]Their first match was on 29 September 2017 against Portugal.
