Growing the Game in the Southern Hemisphere

ABOUT SAIHF

SAIHF is the official body overseeing ice hockey in South Africa. We’re responsible for organising domestic leagues, training programs, and international representation. Ice hockey may be an unexpected passion in a warm country, but our athletes prove time and time again that excellence knows no climate.

We work to develop the sport at all levels — from grassroots to national teams — while fostering integrity, inclusivity, and pride in the South African jersey.

Our Mission

At the South African Ice Hockey Federation, our mission is to grow and promote the sport of ice hockey across the nation by creating accessible pathways for players of all ages and backgrounds. We are committed to excellence, sportsmanship, and development — nurturing talent from grassroots to elite level while fostering a strong, inclusive community that represents the spirit of South Africa on and off the ice.

Whether you're new to the sport or an experienced player looking to compete, there’s a place for you in South African ice hockey. Find your local club, join a development program, or volunteer at a regional event.
