The ICE Hockey League will issue accreditations for club representatives, federation representatives, officials, league representatives and league employees.

Each club is obligated to ensure that its usher service is familiar with how to handle league accreditations. In cases of abuse (e.g., permitting unauthorized persons to use accreditations), accreditation cards will be withheld or recalled.
