The Kuwait Ice Hockey Association (Arabic: الاتحاد الكويتي لهوكي الجليد) is the governing body of ice hockey in Kuwait. Kuwait had originally joined the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) in 1985, but was expelled in 1992 due to a lack of ice hockey activity.[1] Kuwait was re-admitted into the IIHF on 8 May 2009.[2]
