History
Hockey in Kuwait
Kuwait regained membership into the International Ice Hockey Federation after having been expelled more than 15 years ago due to its lack of hockey activity. However, the Kuwaiti hockey program made a comeback with its participation in the 2007 Asian Games as well as the 2008 Arab Cup.

The Kuwait Ice Hockey Association was granted Associate Member status within the IIHF on May 8, 2009 during the IIHF's Annual Congress meetings in Bern, Switzerland, becoming the 67th member of the IIHF family.
