History of hockey in Singapore
The Singapore Ice Hockey Association is the governing body of ice hockey in the country. Singapore joined the IIHF on May 2, 1996.

The first ice rink in Singapore was opened in 1988. In 1997, a local league, organized by the federation, was started at the Fuji Ice Palace, with six teams participating. Due to high costs for players, the league closed its doors after only one year of operation. In 2001, the Singapore National Ice Hockey League started up. It was held yearly until 2009. It did not operate in the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

The men's national team participated in the IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia three times between 2008 and 2010. Their best finish was 5th place at the 2008 tournament. In their first international game, they defeated Macau 4-0.
