The Federation of Ice Hockey League, Inc. (FIHL), also known as Hockey Philippines, is the national governing body for the sport of ice hockey in the Philippines. It handled the formation of the Philippine national team, together with the acquisition of foreign coaches, creating ice hockey tournaments around the country and partnering with different sponsors including SM Supermalls.[1]
The FIHL was formed in February 2015,[2] and was later admitted as an associate member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) on May 20, 2016.[3][4]
By July 2016, the federation had gained membership in the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC).[5] The FIHL became a voting member of the POC in July 2020.[6]
