The Belarusian Ice Hockey Association (Belarusian: Федэрацыя хакея Рэспублікі Беларусь,Russian: Федерация хоккея Республики Беларусь)[1] is the governing body of ice hockey in Belarus. It was founded on 6 March 1992 and became a member of the IIHF on 2 May 1992.
Since 9 September 2020, the Belarusian Ice Hockey Association has been headed by Dzmitry Baskau who is accused of being involved in the killing of protester Raman Bandarenka.[3] For this reason, a travel ban against Baskau was imposed by the governments of Latvia and Estonia.[4] On September 8, 2021, the International Ice Hockey Federation disqualified him for five years.[5] For ten months, the International Ice Hockey Federation investigated his actions and found that Baskau used discrimination and threats against sportspersons because of their political views.[5]
