Our purpose

The SIHPU – our purpose
The association Swiss Ice Hockey Players’ Union (SIHPU) represents and advocates for the interests of the ice hockey players of the National League (NL) towards the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation (SIHF), the clubs as well as other institutions within sport and politics. The SIHPU is committed to the needs of the players, submits the corresponding interests as well as suggestions for improvement to the SIHF’s competitive sports committee and thus puts the current concerns of the ice hockey players on the agenda league meetings.

Our goal

The SIHPU – our goal
SIHPU continues to develop Swiss ice hockey from the players’ point of view.

Motivation and successes

The SIHPU – motivation and successes

The idea for the foundation of the SIHPU came from active ice hockey players, they recognized the necessity of a representation of interests of the players in the Swiss ice hockey sport and wanted to give something back to the sport with the foundation of the association.
With the broad know-how of the active and meanwhile also former players in the board, the SIHPU has already suggested various improvements. With the campaign #Ligareform or #2MinutenfürdasSchweizerEishockey, the SIHPU has made history together with the players and the fans. It is precisely these successes that make us realize the importance of our work and we are all the more pleased to be able to continue to represent the concerns of the NL ice hockey players in the future.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

Jonas Hiller
Ex-Player
President SIHPU

Why did you join the Players’ Association?

In over 20 years as a professional hockey player I have seen and learned a lot. While players get bigger, stronger and better, I see room for improvement to professionalize Swiss Icehockey in general. Most of the time it’s the players who come up with ideas first to make hockey better. I along side the SIHPU want to help the players to be recognised and heard.

Félicien Du Bois
Player HC Davos

Why did you join the Players’ Association?

We players are an important part of the “product” ice hockey. In the past, our opinions were not perceived enough. With the foundation of SIHPU we have a great opportunity to improve this.

Ramon Untersander
Player SC Bern

Why did you join the Players’ Association?

I want to build something for our players especially for the next generations. It’s not just about a player, it’s about the person under the helmet. It is important to me to have the best conditions to develop our ice hockey further.

Ivo Rüthemann
Ex-Player
SC Bern legend

Why should every player be part of the Swiss Ice Hockey Player Union?

Clear goals, a united appearance and the commitment of each player are decisive for the success of our association, which is committed to the interests of all. Every team athlete has already experienced this secret of success or failure.
