History

In February 1911, the All-Russian Hockey Union joined the IIHF, then called the "Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace", representing the Russian Empire. It was expelled the same year and subsequently dissolved itself, due to the mistaken belief the federation had joined a bandy league. In 1952, the Soviet Union joined the IIHF under the Soviet Union Ice Hockey Federation. The Ice Hockey Federation of Russia was founded on 12 November 1991, during the existence of the Soviet Union and the Russian SFSR, as the "Ice Hockey Federation of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic / Ice Hockey Federation of Russia" ( / ). On 19 January 1992, after the Soviet Union was dissolved and Russia took over the international rights and obligations of the Soviet Union, the federation became the official successor of the Soviet Union Ice Hockey Federation and its successes and its full membership in the IIHF. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the IIHF suspended Russia from all levels of competition.
