The Puerto Rico Ice Hockey Association was founded in 2020, and was later accepted into the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) on September 29, 2022 as an associate member.[1] The organization is also part of the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee.[2] Puerto Rico became the first territory of the United States and the sixth Latin American nation to join the IIHF. The current president of PRIHA is Scott Vargas.[3][4]
There are currently no operational indoor ice rinks in Puerto Rico. The Aguadilla Ice Skating Arena, the only rink in the territory, has been permanently closed since 2017 due to damage caused by Hurricane Maria.[5][6]
Puerto Rico was not a member of the IIHF and was not eligible to enter in any IIHF tournaments.
