The
Mongolian Hockey Federation Founded in 1991, the Mongolian Ice Hockey
Federation (MHF) is a non-governmental and non-profit organization, and
was established through the voluntary federate principal. The MHF’s
basic purpose is to develop the sport of ice hockey in Mongolia, and to
establish relationships and cooperation with international and regional
federations. The MHF is also a stalwart supporter of the views of the
International Olympic Committee. In the 1960’s, visiting “specialists” from
the Soviet Union introduced ice hockey to the Mongolians. During this
time, several outdoor arenas were built in Mongolia’s larger cities;
Ulaan Baatar, Darkhan, Baganuur, Bor-Under and Khotol. These cities
still maintain hockey clubs and are the principle cities in Mongolia’s
national league. The MHF operates according to governmental rules
and its own constitution where it derives its rules and regulations -
for both financial and general management. Rules have been created
governing try-outs for national teams and determining the grade of
players allowed in each league. Presently the federation has over 300
members, 6 member organizations and 8 clubs. Financially, the federation
has been running its activities through dues paid by members and clubs
as well as help from sponsors. The federation aids the growth of the sport of ice
hockey by hosting several tournaments each year. There are the National
Cup, the Ulaan Baatar Championship, junior and youth tournaments and
national playoffs as well as the Federation Cup and Special Cup games. In recent years, MHF teams have traveled internationally to China, Russia, South Korea, North Korea, Thailand, New Zealand and Ireland. The MHF also has sent players, coaches and referees to IIHF workshops and clinics to improve the level of ice hockey in Mongolia. NHL.COM
