Clubs are normally notified of the outcome of DOPS investigations within a week of the alleged incident. Notifications are sent to clubs towards the end of each week.
Clubs can request a video review as per the league rules using the following form:
All tournaments and camps hosted by EIH clubs must be sanctioned by England Ice Hockey. To travel to international tournaments, or invite international teams to participate in the UK, clubs must receive approval from England Ice Hockey and IHUK.
All applications must adhere to the requirements outlined in the EIH Rules and Regulations. For a template risk assessment for travelling to a tournament, please see our Safer Sport page.
Clubs travelling abroad will require their own travel insurance from 2024.
Any player who wishes to participate in a hockey competition under the jurisdiction of any National Association (e.g., a different country) other than their current National Association is required to obtain an International Transfer Card (ITC).
International Transfer rules are a requirement of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) and all EIH affiliated members must comply with these rules.
A player’s playing rights belong to their country of birth – this need not be their nationality.
*Any player born in the UK who has previously been registered in the UK but has been playing abroad on a Limited International Transfer does not need an international transfer to return to the UK when it has expired. Their playing rights automatically revert back to the UK on expiry.
Note: players only playing Rec Hockey and/or University Hockey do not require an ITC. Training only players do not require an ITC, however, approval must be sought from IHUK.
All documents must be in PDF format, sent as individual files, full size, and readable with all sections completed. A club representative must also sign the document.
All transfers are processed on the IIHF electronic transfer system.
For Junior International Transfers, Ice Hockey UK charge an administration fee of £78 (this fee is set by IHUK and is subject to change from time to time. EIH will not be responsible for any increase in fees).
The charge for the Senior International Transfer is set by the IIHF and is currently £900 for male players and £600 for female players.
Coach training is delivered through a mix of in-person training and online courses. EIH currently use UK Coaching for the delivery of e-learning.
Once a coach has registered and has the pre-requisites, their registration will be approved for a temporary 90 day license. They will then receive a code to access the UK Coaching portal to complete any outstanding e-learning.
UK Coaching codes are normally sent by the Friday of the week you have registered. If you don’t receive a code, check if your registration is still pending. If it has been approved, contact info@englandicehockey.com.
Make sure you are entering your code into the ‘Premium Subscription’ on UK Coaching, rather than an individual course. Individual courses need to be purchased by the coach (you will get this discounted with your premium subscription).
If you previously had the premium subscription, search upgrade to enter your code and renew the subscription (we advise waiting until the current subscription is due to expire to receive the full benefit).
All premium subscriptions last for 12 months from the date they were activated.
Check the coaching regulations for the courses you need to complete. Some courses only need to be taken once, whereas some, such as safeguarding, concussion, CPR and first aid, need to be completed every three years.
Check with your club secretary or the EIH CEP registration secretary if you are unsure of what to do.
EIH have a number of courses that are accepted. Check the Coach Regulations for the latest guidance. If you have found a course and are unsure if it meets the requirements, please email info@englandicehockey.com
EIH offer an accelerated coaching programme. Check that you meet the eligibility in the Coaching Regulations and apply using the form below.
