EY Hockey League Ireland

EY Ireland has been the primary sponsor of the Irish Hockey League since 2016 with the formation of the EY Hockey League and its subsequent expansion to feature a second tier in 2019. The competition has since become universally known as the EYHL, a measure of the intrinsic link between sponsor and competition and provides an elite hockey competition on an equal basis to male and female players.

Covering all four provinces, the all-island EY Hockey League (EYHL) will see Ireland’s top ten male and top ten female clubs battle it out to become league champions over 18 weeks of exciting, fast-paced hockey.

The sponsorship also supports the EY Hockey League Division 2 (EYHL2), which currently boasts ten men’s team and ten women’s teams, the winners of which will progress to the EYHL for the following season.

The EYHL and EYHL2 showcase some of Ireland’s top players, with a notable number of Ireland’s international female players returning from European Clubs this year, taking up player/coach roles within EYHL clubs.

At EY, we are committed to building the highest performing diverse teams. Hockey is an equal sport where both men and women can compete at the same level, and we are committed to strengthening gender equality.

We are extremely proud to be supporting Irish hockey as we embark upon what promises to be a highly competitive season.
