The Georgian Ice Hockey National Federation (GIHNF) (Georgian: საქართველოს ყინულის ჰოკეის ეროვნული ფედერაცია) is the governing body of ice hockey in Georgia. The federation was founded in 2004 by Denis Davidov and Lasha Tsagareishvili.[1] In 2009 Georgia joined the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) as an associate member.[2] The Georgian Ice Hockey League was started in 2007.[3] Shortly after being accepted into the IIHF both Davidov and Tsagareishvili, along with four others (including the president of the Ice Hockey Federation of Armenia) were killed in a car accident, forcing the Georgian Ice Hockey Federation to delay plans to start a national team.[4] Georgia joined the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) on 8 May 2009.
