French Federation of Ice Sports (or French Ice Sports Federation; French: Fédération française des sports de glace or FFSG) is the national governing body for a number of ice sports in France.[2]
It manages completely different sports disciplines whose only commonality is that they are practiced on ice. This explains the structural complexity of the organization.
The French Federation of Ice Sports manages several groups of sports:
From 1942 to 2006, the FFSG also managed French ice hockey. Creation of the French Ice Hockey Federation on April 29, 2006 established an independent body to supervise this sport.
