Kilkenny City Storm Ice Hockey Team

The Kilkenny City Storm Ice hockey team was founded around June 2007 and is made up of local players as well as a mixture of foreign talent. The team travel to Dundalk regularly to play in the Irish Ice Hockey League which is organised by the Irish Ice Hockey Association (IIHA).

Over the past number of years the team have seen great success both in Ireland and abroad. In 2008, the team travelled to Gydnia, Poland to take part in an invitational tournament. This was a great success with the Storm team gathering some valuable skills across the course of the 4 days trip. Following this in 2009 the team travelled to Winnipeg, Canada to train and play a number exhibitions matches in the home ground of Ice Hockey.

Due to the lack of Ice rinks across the country the team also play Inline Hockey which is very similar to Ice Hockey but instead it is played on a wooden floor and players move on roller skates with wheels. The Kilkenny City Storm also take part in the Irish Inline Hockey League which is run every year with a variety of teams taking place from across the country including Cork, Dublin and Galway.
