Целью статьи является исследование формирования спортивного бренда на примере Армянской хоккейной лиги (АХЛ). АХЛ представляет собой пример перспективного спортивного проекта, который стремится не только популяризировать хоккей в Армении, но и укрепить национальную идентичность через спорт. При этом текущий имидж АХЛ требует серьезного анализа и доработки, так как лига сталкивается с рядом проблем: ограниченные ресурсы, слабая медийная узнаваемость, отсутствие сформированной фан-базы, а также необходимость соответствия международным стандартам.</p></sec><sec><title>Методология и источники</title><p>Методология и источники.

The purpose of this article is to study the formation of a sports brand using the example of the Armenian Hockey League (AHL). The Armenian Hockey League (AHL) is an example of a promising sports project that aims not only to promote hockey in Armenia, but also to strengthen national identity through sports. At the same time, the current image of the AHL requires serious analysis and improvement, as the league faces several challenges: limited resources, low media awareness, a lack of a dedicated fan base, and the need to meet international standards.</p></sec><sec><title>Methodology and sources</title><p>Methodology and sources.
