The Israel Elite Hockey League

The Israel Elite Hockey League is the first professional level ice hockey league in Israel. The IEHL exists to support, promote, and grow the sport of ice hockey in Israel, while also exposing the rest of the world to Israeli hockey, and the Israeli people and their culture. The IEHL is committed to bringing a diverse group of players together from all over the world to come experience Israel in a unique way, while also allowing players to improve their game, play competitively during their individual club's offseason, or helping players reach the next step in their careers.

The IEHL consists of six teams. The Holon Vipers, the Jerusalem Capitals, the Bat Yam Dolphins, HC Tel Aviv, and two teams to be named later. HC Tel Aviv took home the first ever IEHL Cup, defeating the Holon Vipers 9-8 in the championship game. The Jerusalem Capitals finished in third place while the Bat Yam Dolphins finished at the bottom of the table in 2021. German forward Artem Klein finished as the top point scorer in the league, racking up 39 points on 21 goals and 18 assists. American forwards Michael Gennello (36 pts) and Chris Blake (32 pts), along with Klein, were the only players to record more than 20 total points during the 2021 season.
