The Venezuela national ice hockey team (Spanish: Selección de hockey sobre hielo de Venezuela) is the national men's ice hockey team of Venezuela, and is controlled by the Venezuelan Ice and Inline Hockey Association, the governing body that oversees both ice and inline hockey in the country. Venezuela is not a member of the IIHF and therefore not eligible to enter any IIHF World Championship events.
Venezuela made its debut in international competition in 2018 at the Amerigol LATAM Cup, sanctioned by the Amerigol International Hockey Association, which took place in Coral Springs, Florida, United States.[1] The team played its first official game against Colombia on 9 November, falling to them 12–1. After an 0–3 start, they played their fourth game on 10 November and went on to win 5–3 against Brazil, eliminating them in the preliminary round and advanced to the Amerigol LATAM Cup semi-finals. The team once again played against Colombia on 11 November, but they were shutout by them 13–0, finishing in fourth place as the semi-finalist.
In the 2019 Amerigol LATAM Cup, the team won 8–4 against Chile and later won 5–3 against the Mexico Selects team. In the semi-finals, they lost 7–4 to Colombia and later in the bronze medal game, lost 3–2 to the Mexico Selects team, finishing in fourth place for the second straight year.
