The [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF)  is the worldwide governing body for ice hockey and in-line hockey. It is based in [[Zurich]], Switzerland, and maintains the international ice hockey rulebook, processes international player transfers, dictates officiating guidelines and is responsible for the management of international ice hockey tournaments. The IIHF was created on May 15, 1908, under the name (in French) Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace (LHG).<ref>{{Cite web|title=It all started in Paris, 1908|url=http://www.iihf.com/iihf-home/history/the-iihf.html|publisher=[[International Ice Hockey Federation]]|accessdate=1 March 2009}}</ref> [[Belgium]], France, Great Britain, Switzerland and [[Bohemia]] (now the [[Czech Republic]]) were the founding members. The IIHF was composed entirely of European teams until 1920, when Canada and the United States joined.

Under the IIHF, there are three levels for member organizations. The highest level, and the only one in which members can vote at IIHF Congresses, is IIHF Full Member. These nations have their own independent hockey association, and regularly participate in the various IIHF-sanctioned World Championships. IIHF Associate Members is the second level. These nations either do not have their own independent hockey association, or have one, but have limited participation in the World Championships. The third category, IIHF Affiliate Member, is for nations that only participate in the IIHF InLine Hockey World Championship.<ref name="IIHFMemberStructure">{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/iihf-home/the-iihf/members.html|title=Members|publisher=International Ice Hockey Federation|accessdate=May 13, 2009}}</ref>
As of 2022, the IIHF has 83 members.<ref name="IIHFMemberStructure">{{cite web |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/associations |title=IIHF Member National Associations |date=29 September 2022 |publisher=International Ice Hockey Federation}}</ref> [[Puerto Rico]] is the newest member, joining on 29 September 2022.<ref name="IIHFMembers2022">{{cite web |url=https://www.iihf.com/en/news/39327/welcome_puerto_rico! |title=Welcome Puerto Rico! |last=Merk |first=Martin |date=29 September 2022 |publisher=International Ice Hockey Federation}}</ref>


As of 2016, there are 77 members: 54 full members, 21 associate members and 2 affiliate members. Indonesia, Nepal, and the Philippines are the newest members, all of whom joined on May 19, 2016. In 2015, 47 members participated in the [[Ice Hockey World Championships|Men's World Championships]] and 36 participated in the [[IIHF World Women's Championships|Women's World Championships]].
There are three levels of membership in the IIHF. The highest level, IIHF Full Members, are nations that have their own independent ice hockey association and regularly participate in IIHF-sanctioned World Championships. The second level, IIHF Associate Members, either do not have their own independent ice hockey association or have one, but do not yet meet IIHF standards for World Championships participation. The third level, IIHF Affiliate Members, is for nations that only participate in the now-defunct Inline Hockey World Championships. The federation has 60 full members, (including two suspended members), 22 associate members and one affiliate member. Full Members can vote in IIHF Congresses, while Associate and Affiliate Members cannot.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blob.iihf.com/iihf-media/iihfmvc/media/downloads/statutes/2021-2024-statutes-and-bylaws-(effective-september-2021).pdf|title=IIHF Statutes and Bylaws 2021–2024|date=May 2018|publisher=International Ice Hockey Federation}}</ref>

The current members of the IIHF. (Red indicates full members, blue indicates associate members, green indicates affiliate members and black indicates suspended members).

The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) is the worldwide governing body for ice hockey and in-line hockey. It is based in Zurich, Switzerland, and maintains the international ice hockey rulebook, processes international player transfers, dictates officiating guidelines and is responsible for the management of international ice hockey tournaments. The IIHF was created on May 15, 1908, under the name (in French) Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace (LHG).[1] Belgium, France, Great Britain, Switzerland and Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) were the founding members. The IIHF was composed entirely of European teams until 1920, when Canada and the United States joined.

As of 2022, the IIHF has 83 members.[2] Puerto Rico is the newest member, joining on 29 September 2022.[3]

There are three levels of membership in the IIHF. The highest level, IIHF Full Members, are nations that have their own independent ice hockey association and regularly participate in IIHF-sanctioned World Championships. The second level, IIHF Associate Members, either do not have their own independent ice hockey association or have one, but do not yet meet IIHF standards for World Championships participation. The third level, IIHF Affiliate Members, is for nations that only participate in the now-defunct Inline Hockey World Championships. The federation has 60 full members, (including two suspended members), 22 associate members and one affiliate member. Full Members can vote in IIHF Congresses, while Associate and Affiliate Members cannot.[4]

In 2022, 49 IIHF members participated in the Men's World Championships and 38 participated in the Women's World Championships.
