French Ice Hockey Federation
Sport regulating body in France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The French Ice Hockey Federation (French: Fédération française de hockey sur glace (FFHG)) is the governing body of ice hockey in France, as recognized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). It was founded in 2006 after separation with the Fédération française des sports de glace (English: French Ice Sports Federation).[3]
For the first ten years, the federation had its offices in Issy-les-Moulineaux, Hauts-de-Seine. In 2016, it moved to a new national training center in Cergy, Val-d'Oise.[4] It manages both the amateur and professional games in France, as well as the national teams on junior and senior levels. France is a founding member of the IIHF.[5]
