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]
