	Wow. Some of these I never would have thought and I am a big hockey researcher. I need to find some players from some of these countries.

	robhop:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 22:05 GMT		0 points
	Hong Kong and Macau are part of China.

	nscox:	Nov 30th, 2011 at 22:24 GMT		7 points
	True, but the IIHF recognizes both of them as individual members. http://www.iihf.com/iihf-home/countries/hong-kong.html and http://www.iihf.com/iihf-home/countries/macau.html

	Too much time, IMO. It's the only possible reason for my actually managing to guess Morocco. Fun quiz though.

	citkeane:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 12:33 GMT		-1 points
	I've never watched an ice hockey match but I got 100% with a lot of time to spare, maybe cut a minute or two.

	@nscox Nevertheless, the phrase "member nations" is misleading. A phrasing such as "members" or "teams" would better suggest that players are not limited to the set of Sporcle-recognized nations.

	nscox:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 14:13 GMT		4 points
	The reason I used "member nations" is because I wanted to make it clear that the quiz is looking for countries, as opposed to leagues or federations. However, the quiz does say "countries", so I took your suggestion and simplified it to "members". I also shortened the time to seven minutes.

	nscox:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 14:18 GMT		1 point
	I've added a note that says that there are some non-Sporcle-recognized nations. Should I add a * next to Hong Kong and Macau, or would that be unnecessary?

	derekand1:	Dec 1st, 2011 at 18:38 GMT		2 points
	Also you should list Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia under Asia instead of Europe, as is Sporcle recognized.

	PublicEnemy:	Dec 2nd, 2011 at 02:09 GMT		2 points
	Wasn't what I was expecting. There are 70 countries in the IIHF but really it comes down to Canada, USA, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland and maybe 1 or 2 others I forgot.

	Kyrgyzstan!! You old devil. First time in a long time I've dismissed you and regretted it!

	jonbar18:	Dec 8th, 2011 at 01:37 GMT		-4 points
	I didn't know half of these even knew what hockey was! I'm sorry, but I can't see Brazil, Mongolia, Thailand, etc. playing hockey. And North Korea being a member of ANY international organization doesn't seem very likely.

	The strange mental picture of Namibian hunters playing hockey in the blazing African desert may never leave me.

	Never thought of New Zealand as an ice hockey nation either, but I have to say the Haka on skates is quite impressive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqGbOYt8d0g

	koopa08:	Dec 31st, 2011 at 16:55 GMT		1 point
	Namibia threw me off. I know the UAE had that indoor skiing park, so I assumed they had a hockey team. But Namibia? Wow!

	Maphead:	Jan 9th, 2012 at 04:58 GMT		1 point
	@koopa08: Probably from the German expats.

	anthonyjpf:	Jan 16th, 2012 at 02:30 GMT		1 point
	Out of the 5 original teams back in 1908, only 2 are even half-decent today...

	Blimpyboy:	Jan 20th, 2012 at 15:27 GMT		1 point
	I missed the two that aren't countries and the two that are too damn hot to even consider building hockey rinks. Overall, I'm pretty okay with missing those 4.

	Anlelo:	Mar 26th, 2012 at 10:45 GMT		1 point
	I'm not sure if I would enjoy a hockey game between Namibia and india...

	ctbone123:	Jun 28th, 2012 at 05:20 GMT		1 point
	@anthonyjpf - The Czechs are one of the power teams. They won gold in Nagano. Switzerland is probably the best team outside the seven or so power countries. While France is one of the better teams that can qualify for every couple of tournaments or so (similar to Latvia, Italy, or Norway).

	There is also a hockey team in Algeria that doesn't have full membership. South Africa actually hosted (and dominated) the Division III world championships. There are actually some pretty decent teams there for the area, considering they have only been playing for a few years.
