🏢Associations

The global bodies of ice hockey — the International Ice Hockey Federation, its Hall of Fame and para ice hockey under the International Paralympic Committee. Ice hockey has no continental confederations; the IIHF runs both the world and the European competitions directly.

National ice hockey associations of European countries — the official federation websites from Slovakia and Czechia to Andorra. Europe has 41 IIHF members, more than any other continent.

The national ice hockey associations of North and Central America — from Canada and the United States, IIHF members since 1920, to Jamaica and Puerto Rico with only a few dozen registered players.

The national ice hockey associations of Asia and Oceania — 27 countries, from Japan with nearly 14,000 players to Bahrain, which joined the IIHF in 2024. Thirteen of them have neither a website nor an active social media page, so they link to their profile in the IIHF database.

The national ice hockey associations of Africa and South America — nine countries, from South Africa, an IIHF member since 1937, to Kenya, which joined in 2024. These are the smallest ice hockey associations in the world and some of them have no website of their own.
