NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYERS' ASSOCIATION
We represent the ice hockey players of Switzerland
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.
The SIHPU – our goal
SIHPU continues to develop Swiss ice hockey from the players’ point of view.
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.
