A New Era of Leadership. A New Global Movement. The Israel Ice Hockey Federation has just ushered in a bold, committed leadership team with a clear mission: To unite the Jewish world around the game of hockey — and build a strong, thriving hockey culture in Israel.
We’re launching the Israel Hockey Support Club to give our community a way to step onto the ice with us — not just in spirit, but in real, meaningful action.
You’ll help fund four official Israel national teams — Men’s, Women’s, U20, and U18 — to train and compete in IIHF tournaments and international events. From jerseys to flights, you help put the Star of David on the ice with pride.
We operate seven leagues in cities across Israel, from juniors to adults, boys and girls, beginners to elite. Your support helps cover league operations, scheduling, coaching, game officials, and infrastructure — making hockey accessible year-round.
Your donation ensures every player has what they need to compete — skates, helmets, pads, sticks, team uniforms, and safe transportation to games and tournaments. Many of our players come from modest means, and your support levels the rink.
We run programs that bring Jewish athletes from around the world to experience Israel through hockey. These include birthright-style missions, national team tryouts, and outreach to Jewish communities in North America and Europe — connecting identity with sport.
With nearly 2,000 registered players and counting, we invest in developing youth hockey from the ground up — from learn-to-skate programs to junior leagues. We also support new olim (immigrants) and underprivileged kids through scholarships, free clinics, and gear grants.
Building the Future of Israeli and Jewish Hockey — Together
The Israel Ice Hockey Federation was founded with a bold vision: to bring the sport of hockey to Israel, develop homegrown talent, and proudly represent the country on the international stage. Over the years, we’ve built leagues, sent teams to world championships, and created opportunities for thousands of young players to fall in love with the game.
Now, a new leadership team has been elected — and we’re bringing fresh energy, global vision, and a deep commitment to building something even greater.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between hockey in Israel and the vibrant Jewish hockey community across North America and around the world.
We believe that hockey is more than a sport — it’s a powerful tool for unity, identity, and pride. Whether you’re a former player, a parent, a supporter, or a fan, there’s a place for you in this story.
Together, we’re building a world-class hockey system in Israel — from grassroots development to national teams — and we’re inviting you to be part of it from day one.
