Hockey Canada is the official national governing body of ice hockey in Canada and is a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation.

The modern organization, based in Calgary, Alberta with a secondary office in Ottawa, Ontario was formed in July 1994 when the Canadian Hockey Association merged with the then Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, formed in 1914. Some commentators still occasionally refer to Hockey Canada as the Canadian Hockey Association. Although the organization is usually called Hockey Canada, they are actually legally registered as the Canadian Hockey Association, as noted in their constitution.

Hockey Canada has many regional branches across the county:

Hockey Canada also sanctions governing bodies at the Major Junior and Junior "A" levels:

In recent years, Hockey Canada has developed a new construct for minor and junior hockey known as the Canadian Development Model. The CDM has many supporters as well as many critics. In response to the CDM and the changes to Canadian hockey as a result, as of now, two leagues have been created and a governing body, known as the National Junior Hockey Alliance. In an attempt to fend off competition, Hockey Canada has set up a series or rules and guidelines to try to stint the interest in these leagues. Players and officials involved with the NJHA are not allowed to participate in any Hockey Canada event. As well, any player who walks away from a Hockey Canada team without a proper release and joins a NJHA team will be suspended for an additional season from playing under Hockey Canada.
