History[]

The Chilean Ice and Inline Hockey Federation was founded and it joined the IIHF in 2000. It was the third South American nation to join the IIHF.[2] Chile is an affiliate member of the IIHF, and therefore is not recognized for ice hockey, just inline hockey. There are three ice rinks in Santiago, Puerto Montt and Punta Arenas

The team made its debut in international ice hockey competition at the 2017 Pan American Tournament which was held in Mexico City, Mexico between 5 and 11 June 2017. The first game on 5 June 2017, was a loss to Argentina "A" 26–0. The second game came against the would-be champions of the tournament, Mexico "A", losing 17–0. The third game created a number of milestones for the Chilean team. The first goal in country history and eventual game-winner was scored by the Chilean captain, Carlos Valdebenito Jr., scored 3 goals & also finished with what is now the current most points in the game record of 3 goals and 2 assists totaling 5 points in the 6–0 victory over Brazil "B". Chilean goalkeeper, Leonidas Aceitón, recorded the first shutout. Unfortunately, the team suffered several injuries in the first three games of the tournament and having travelled with only 8 skaters and 1 goalie, Chile was given permission by the tournament organizers to use players from other countries. Players from Mexico & Brazil joined the squad in the 4th game onwards. The fourth game was a hard-fought 4–3 victory over Argentina "B". The fifth game turned in a 6–0 loss to Colombia (Red). The sixth and final game was played on 11 June 2017, losing 9–0 to Brazil "A". The team finished 7th place with a record of 2–4.

On 6 September 2019, Chile played at the LATAM Cup, sanctioned by the AmeriGol-Miami International Hockey Association, in Coral Springs, Florida, United States. This marks the second tournament appearance (First LATAM Cup) for the Chilean squad. Both times skating in Division 1. Tournament record stands 0–3. They were defeated 8–4 by Venezuela. Two games were played on 7 September. First a 12–2 loss to Mexico followed by an 11–2 Quarterfinal defeat to Colombia. An unofficial game against Brazil was played on 8 September.
