Speaking about the new website, IHA chief executive, Angus Kirkland, explains the "The Irish Hockey League is the biggest venture to happen on the domestic front in years and the creation of this new website facilitates players, coaches, managers, press and fans alike in having a one stop resource centre for all the information they could ever require on the league."
"This new league will see 12 matches taking place each of the five weekends around the country (60 matches in total) before the finals so this site will also provide a central hub for timely results and match reports which will be updated within 45 minute of a match finishing!"
