The Swiss Ice Hockey Federation (SIHF) (German : Schweizerischer Eishockeyverband (SEHV), French : Ligue Suisse de Hockey sur Glace (LSHG), Italian : Federazione Svizzera di hockey su ghiaccio ) is the governing body of ice hockey in Switzerland, as recognized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). It was founded in 1908 and is a founding member of the IIHF. It manages both the amateur and professional games in Switzerland, as well as the national teams on junior and senior levels. [1]

Youth coach Markus Graf created the "Foundation, Talent, Elite, Mastery" program adopted as the SIHF mantra. [2] He also created the "swissmadehockey" guidelines for training junior hockey players, [2] which then formed the approach to training the Switzerland men's national ice hockey team. [3]
