Brazil joined the IIHF in 1984, but the country still has not participated in any IIHF tournaments. There are a number of rinks around the country. The teams that competed for the 2009-10 national championship are Sociedade Hipica Campinas, Sertaozinho, Amparo NL, Palmeiras, Darks-Guariani, Portuguesa, and Capelle Hockey School. Michael Greenlay and Robyn Regehr, who both play/have played in the NHL, were born in Brazil.
The first ice hockey games were played in Brazil in 1968 and activities continued into the 1970s and 1980s. No hockey activities took place during the 1990s. After the turn of the century some hockey games have been played and in 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 a national championship has been played.
