ABOUT IHWA

Our Story
Originally founded in 1963 and going from strength to strength leading up to our penultimate season in 2021.
2021 saw IHWA have three junior age divisions and five senior divisions. Despite COVID-19 and the heavily restricted ice times at facilities available to them, IHWA managed to have their best season on record. With a total of 415 regular season matches and 26 play-off matches played across 27 weeks. All of IHWA’s scheduled matches ran Friday nights and early hours of Saturday to late Sunday evening. Despite these challenges, due to COVID-19 restrictions around the world, ice hockey in WA was, at one point, the only sanctioned league playing elite level hockey and thus was the most watched ice hockey league in the world.
IHWA have 914 current members ranging in ages from 5 years old to 79 years old. The age range of 10-49 represents 88% of the current membership base. We are dedicated to the promotion and betterment of our sport and the continuous improvement of our governance, communication and services that we provide to our community.
