Overview
Argentine ice hockey player from the ice hockey Federation, not the AAHHL

Men's and women's team have participated at the Pan American Ice Hockey Tournament. Despite this, ice hockey events are organized by a different institution: the Argentine Ice Hockey Federation (FAHH) organize a metropolitan and a youth league in Buenos Aires and the End-of-the-World Cup in Ushuaia.[1]

The existence of two governing bodies is a difficult issue: while the AAHHL represents both national teams and it's recognized by the International Ice Hockey Federation, its players compete mostly on inline hockey; while FAHH players, who compete on ice hockey, can't be part of the national teams.[2]
