Indonesia made its debut in the international tournament at the 2017 Asian Winter Games in Sapporo, Japan. Their first tournament match was supposed to be against Iran, but their opposition was disqualified due to eligibility issues. Iran still played their scheduled match against Indonesia on 17 February 2017, resulting a 10–3 win for the former. However, the game was considered as an exhibition game and its results had no bearing in the standings of the tournament. Indonesia later lost 13–2 to Malaysia in their first Asian Winter Games.
