The Puerto Rico national ice hockey team () is the national men's ice hockey team of Puerto Rico. The team is controlled by the Puerto Rico Ice Hockey Association and has been an associate member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) since September 29, 2022. Puerto Rico is currently not ranked in the IIHF World Ranking and has not entered in any IIHF World Championship events, but played in the Amerigol LATAM Cup since 2019.
While the Amerigol LATAM Cup is the only annual competition for Puerto Rico, the tournament is not sanctioned by the IIHF, and therefore does not count towards Puerto Rico's official international record.
Puerto Rico made its international debut in 2019 at the Amerigol LATAM Cup, sanctioned by the Amerigol International Hockey Association. It took place in Coral Springs, Florida, United States. Puerto Rico entered the Division 2 tournament and played four unofficial games against clubs and "B" teams. They defeated Argentina "B" (11âÂÂ2), then Colombia "B" (5âÂÂ2), and Brazil "B" (6âÂÂ0). In the Amerigol LATAM Cup Division 2 final, they were defeated by the Falkland Islands selection team, known as the "Rest of the World", 6âÂÂ2, and were awarded a silver medal after finishing in second place.
In 2021, the national team played in the Amerigol LATAM Cup Division 1 tournament, losing 5âÂÂ4 to the Mexico Selects team. Later that same day, they defeated Argentina, 5âÂÂ3, which is Puerto Rico's first official game against another national team. In the semi-finals, they defeated the Mexico Selects team, 6âÂÂ2. They once again won a silver medal after losing 5âÂÂ1 to Colombia in the final.
On September 18, 2022, the national team finished first in Division 1 at the 2022 Amerigol LATAM Cup after defeating Argentina 4âÂÂ3 in the final. Eleven days later, Puerto Rico officially became a new member of the IIHF.
