The Mongolia men's national under-18 ice hockey team is the men's national under-18 ice hockey team of Mongolia. The team is controlled by the Mongolian Ice Hockey Federation, a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation.
The Mongolia men's national under-18 ice hockey team played its first game in 2000 against New Zealand during the 2000 IIHF Asian Oceanic Junior U18 Championship Division II tournament being held in Bangkok, Thailand.[1] Mongolia lost the game 1–5 and finished the tournament in last place.[2] The following year the team finished first in the Division II tournament at the 2001 IIHF Asian Oceanic U18 Championship and were set to gain promotion to Division I but due to a format change both divisions were merged for the 2002 IIHF Asian Oceanic U18 Championship.[1] [3] During the tournament Mongolia achieved their largest victory in international participation when they defeated Thailand 12–1.[1] At the 2002 IIHF Asian Oceanic U18 Championship Mongolia finished fourth after winning two of their five games, beating both Chinese Taipei and 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 being held in Mexico City, Mexico. They finished in last place after losing all five of their games.[4] The following year they again finished in last place and also suffered their largest defeat in international competition after losing to Australia 0–33.[5] In 2011 Mongolian under-18 were set to play at their fourth World Championships however the Mongolian Ice Hockey Federation had to withdraw both the under-18 team and the men's senior team from their respective tournaments due to financial reasons.[6]
