History

The Chinese Taipei men's national under-18 ice hockey team played its first game in 1999 during the 1999 IIHF Asian Oceanic Junior U18 Championship Division II tournament being held in Pyongyang, North Korea. Chinese Taipei lost the tournament and also suffered their largest defeat in international participation when they lost to South Africa 1–34.[1] Chinese Taipei remained in Division II for the next two year finishing in second place in both years.[1] In 2002 the two divisions were merged for the 2002 IIHF Asian Oceanic U18 Championship.[1] Chinese Taipei finished in fifth place after only managing one win against Thailand.[1] After a six-year absence from international competition the under-18 team returned to compete in the 2008 IIHF World U18 Championships Division III Group A tournament being held in Mexico City, Mexico. They finished in second place losing only one game to Mexico.[2] During the 2010 IIHF World U18 Championships Division III Group A tournament Chinese Taipei achieved their largest victory in international participation when they defeated Mongolia 18–1.[3] Chinese Taipei have continued to compete in the Division III tournament at the World U18 Championships and most recently finished in fifth place at the 2012 IIHF World U18 Championships Division III Group A tournament[4] and third place at the 2013 IIHF World U18 Championship Division III Group A tournament.[5]
