I saw something on this a few months ago when they were looking for funding to go play in the div 4 or 5 IIHF WCs (doesn't look like they got it). They showed some video of them practicing and they aren't anywhere near the level of the ECHL so this will be an exhibition in the truest sense of the word, but good for them. Would be cool to see some emerging countries make a push up the IIHF rankings (India is not currently ranked in the top 50) and maybe even become relevant hockey nations one day.
