The Tunisia national ice hockey team (Arabic: منتخب تونس لهوكي الجليد, French: Équipe de Tunisie de hockey sur glace) is the national men's ice hockey team of Tunisia. The team is controlled by the Tunisian Ice Hockey Association and has been an associate member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) since 22 September 2021.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Tunisia is currently not ranked in the IIHF World Ranking and has not entered in any IIHF World Championship events.

History

The Tunisian Ice Hockey Association was founded in 2009.[7] On 14 June 2014, the national team played its first unofficial game against a French club team, Coqs de Courbevoie, in Courbevoie, France. They were defeated by the Coqs 6–5.[8] On 22 September 2021, Tunisia became an official member of the IIHF.[6]

After a long period of inactivity, Tunisia played its first international tournament at the 2023 Arab Cup in Kuwait.[9][10][11]
