Armenia makes history in by winning the B pool bronze medal! After a defeat to Great Britain in the B semi-finals, they turned in a great performance against the Cayman Islands and won the bronze medal for first time in Armenian history with a 6-3 win. The stars of the match were brothers Hovig and Garo Jerivan, who scored all of the Armenian goals.

Matthew Halverson (coach of Cayman Islands): That is the best that I have seen from Armenia ever. Their goaltender Jean-Francois Aumais stood on his head all game long. Hi was the difference maker today. But I have to get our guys credit though. Once we got 2-4, we really fought to get there. It is tough to say, but the right team won.

Gabi Missakyan (coach of Armenia): Our guys got together. Yesterday was dissapointing, because we lost the chance got to the final, but the character of everybody in group showed in today’s game. The medal for us is symbolic. However, the great fact we came a very long way from being last ranked to actually getting this position earning very responsible team. Now we give our programme a very awardness, it hopefully helps us join our girls.
