History
Chinese Taipei has only been active in 1987, 2005, 2008 and 2010. In 1987, they competed unofficially in the World Championship Pool D in Perth, Australia where their best result was a 2-2 draw against Hong Kong. Chinese Taipei was not a member of the IIHF at the time, but showed up to the tournament anyway, and was allowed to play one game against each other team. In 2005, they played 3 friendlies, losing to Hong Kong once, 6-2 and defeating Thailand twice, 5-3 and 11-4. In 2008, they won the inaugural Challenge Cup of Asia held in Hong Kong. In 2009, they failed to send a team to the tournament and in April 2010, they hosted the tournament (now recognized by the IIHF) and won it again.
