Hockey Algeria was founded in 2009 by a group of French nationals of Algerian origin and was later accepted into the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) on 26 September 2019.[1] The goal was to unite hockey players of Algerian origin from France, Switzerland, and Canada, and create an Algerian national team.[2] Hockey Algeria has been an associate member of the IIHF and therefore has no right to vote in the General Assembly. The current president of Hockey Algeria is Karim Kerbouche.
