I doubt it's fake. You never know, i mean i never thought anyone in India played hockey but then i read a story about some dudes by the Himalayan mountains that play some good old fashioned shinny.
Hi all, yes that is the official jersey, the people who won the auctions on ebay will get the same jerseys from the players batch.
If you'd like 1 order now and you'll receive it as part of the players batch.

"Algerian Ice Hockey Federation History
Established in 2006 as the Algerian Ice Hockey Association, and in 2007 changed to the Algerian ice & Inline Hockey Federation, it continues to progress in its quest to make Algeria a hockey nation.
Algeria doesn't currently have a rink, but one is expected to be built soon with a development by the Arab Emirates companies, possibly in the ski resort of Chrea, Blida.
Team Algeria is made up of players who are either born in Algeria and trained abroad, or are born in other countries but have Algerian parents. Currently they have players based Canada, France, Belgium, Sweden, Germany and UK.
The most notable player of Algerian origin is Josef Boumedienne, who's mother is Finish and Father Algerian, Boumedienne has experience playing in the best league in the world, the NHL, and has signed next season with NHL's Washington Capitals. Team Algeria has a good group of players, including promising teenagers, Yassine Fahas and Kevin Benchabane who already have experience in the top league of France."

He has signed a 500k contract with washington capitals, was expected to make the line up but the D in washington was very competitive in training camp and he was assigned to hershey bears in the AHL, I think he'll get a call up at some point in the season.

So when you say the most notable player of Algerian origin is Boumedienne does that mean that he will get an invitation to the Algerian National Team and is he even eligible for you guys?
IŽd love to see this whole thing happening because you guys are basicly and literally stomping this whole project out of the sand.
Youve got my respect.

he has agreed to be involved in the algerian national team however we're not sure which capacity yet.
he has given permission for us to sell algerian jerseys with his name and number 78.
his reason for wanting to be involved is that all his family from his fathers side still live in algeria.

oh and by the way, when you get approved by the IIHF, where will you start off? will you be in the C-Pool or is there like a qualification round for the C-Pool? or is there maybe a D-Pool?
Im not too familiar with the lower systems in the IIHF
