The IIHF is fully committed to protecting ice hockey, its players, coaches, officials, and fans from any form of cheating or abuse. Strengthening integrity across the sport and addressing all forms of misconduct remains a key priority for the IIHF.

The IIHF is constantly and diligently implementing structures and creating rules to enhance and promote integrity in the sport of ice hockey. All IIHF integrity rules and programs are contained within the IIHF Integrity Hub.

IIHF Integrity consists of 4 pillars:  
 

	Anti-Doping: The IIHF’s aim is to protect clean players by keeping ice hockey free of doping.
	Competition Manipulation: The IIHF’s goal is to protect the exciting and unpredictable character of ice hockey games by preventing players, coaches or officials from cheating.
	Abuse & Harassment: The IIHF’s priority is to protect children and adults in ice hockey from harm by providing a safe space in which they can perform their sport.
	Ethics: The IIHF’s objective is to promote ethical conduct in ice hockey by discouraging misconduct.

 
The relevant rules for each of the Integrity pillars can be found in the IIHF Integrity Code.

You play a pivotal role in the IIHF’s commitment to strengthening integrity in ice hockey. By reporting any incidents that violate the IIHF Integrity pillars, you provide vital support to the IIHF Integrity program.
