Ice hockey in Sweden has a history going back at least the early 1920s. The sport was first organized in the country by the Swedish Football Association (SvFF) which was a founding member of the IIHF in 1920. The hockey department of the SvFF eventually split off to become the Swedish Ice Hockey Association (SIHA) which today is still responsible for organizing Sweden’s domestic leagues and its participation in tournaments internationally.
