Embarking on a Journey: Building a Legacy of Hockey in Israel

Welcome to the Israel Elite Hockey League (IEHL), a thriving community where the love for hockey knows no boundaries. As we embark on our third season, we stand on the precipice of an extraordinary milestone. This year, our league has blossomed into something remarkable, with 65 talented import players from 8 countries joining forces with the top 100 Israeli players from all over the country. Together, they are forging a new era for Israeli hockey, propelling our beloved sport to unprecedented heights.

In pursuit of our shared passion, the IEHL operates with a commitment similar to that of a non-profit organization. Every dollar that comes into the league goes 100% back into its operations and supporting our players. Our mission is to promote and develop hockey in Israel, nurturing a strong foundation for the future of the sport. With every donation, our partners at Jewcer will supply you with a tax-deductible receipt for your records. We thank you greatly for your support.

However, this financial structure poses a formidable challenge—securing the necessary funding to sustain our league and empower our players. Unlike other leagues, where external entities shoulder expenses, we rely on the support of generous individuals and organizations like yourself.

This is where we invite you to be part of our incredible journey. By supporting our fundraising campaign, you can make a significant impact on the IEHL and the lives of our players. Your contribution will help us make IEHL hockey more accessible and affordable for all. Whether it’s providing essential equipment, covering league fees, supporting travel expenses to see our beautiful country, or addressing housing costs, your contribution ensures that our players can focus on what they do best—playing hockey at the highest level and experiencing Israel to the fullest. Together, we can create a lasting legacy and inspire future generations of hockey players in Israel.

So, where will your generous donation go?

Ice Time: In Israel, ice is a rare commodity. Our teams are limited to one home rink located east of Netanya, far from the bustling heart of Tel Aviv. Each game requires a long and arduous journey, as our players travel to seize the opportunity to showcase their skills on the ice. The cost of securing a mere hour of ice time amounts to $850—a significant expense given the 45 league games compacted into a single month.

Equipment: While our players bring their own baseline equipment, we strive to ensure they not only look their best on the ice but also remain safe throughout the game. The costs of providing additional jerseys, helmets, and gloves for every player can quickly accumulate.

Travel: Spread across the nation are so many sites for our players to see and experience, This geographical diversity demands substantial expenditures for travel-related costs. From bus transportation and food to beverages and accommodations, our players rely on these essential resources to compete at their best and be able to see the whole of Israel.

By joining forces with us, your generous contribution will expand the IEHL’s impact, touching the lives of countless individuals. Together, we can extend the accessibility and outreach of our league, igniting the passion for hockey in more hearts and homes across Israel. Your support today not only fuels our growth but also secures the future of hockey in our beloved nation for generations to come.

Thank you for being a crucial part of this extraordinary journey, where dreams are chased, barriers are shattered, and the legacy of hockey in Israel is forged. Together, let us create a lasting impact and celebrate the power of unity, determination, and the beautiful game we all love.
