History

[edit]

The Indonesian Ice Hockey Federation (FHEI) is the national ice hockey sports organization in Indonesia. FHEI has been registered as a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), an international body that oversees the sport of ice hockey and the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI).[3]

This sport grew and developed in Indonesia, starting with the introduction of inline skating in the 90s. Not long after inline skating became popular in society, the era of inline hockey began. This is marked by the many exhibition events held up to national level championships.[3]

FHEI Journey Ice Hockey itself has a similar story, this sport became known to the public when Indonesia first had an ice rink located in a shopping area in Jakarta in 2001 and now there are several more ice rinks located in several states.[3]

The development of ice hockey in Indonesia over the last 2 decades has provided a new color for the growth of ice hockey in Asia. Indonesia is starting to become known internationally as one of the countries in Southeast Asia with a tropical climate that participates in sports that were previously only played by countries with winter seasons.[3]
