The Irish Ice Hockey Association was established in 1996.
The IIHA is the official NGB of Ice Hockey in Ireland.
The IIHA is a not for profit organisation.
The IIHA is a full member with both the (IIHF) International Ice Hockey Federation and (OCI) Olympic Council of Ireland.
To date the IIHA is not a full member of the Irish Sports Council, however a solid working relationship has been established between the two bodies in recent years.
The IIHA operates on a democratic basis and follows the guidelines set down in its Memorandum & Articles of Association.
