๐ WHEN THE GAME GETS TOUGHโฆ WHOโS IN YOUR CORNER?
Ice hockey can be one of the most rewarding sports in the world โ but it can also bring challenges.
Injuries.
Selection disappointments.
Welfare concerns.
Contract issues.
Mental health struggles.
Disciplinary matters.
Life after hockey.
At UKIHPA, we believe nobody should have to face those challenges alone.
We are proud to provide independent support, guidance and representation for players, families, officials and staff across the United Kingdom.
Because hockey is more than just a game.
Itโs a community.
Itโs a family.
And when you need someone in your corner, weโre here.

The UK Ice Hockey Players Association (UKIHPA) joins the NHLPA and the wider hockey community in expressing our deepest condolences following the passing of Claude Lemieux.
Claude enjoyed an extraordinary career, winning four Stanley Cups and the Conn Smythe Trophy, cementing his place as one of the gameโs most accomplished competitors. His contribution to hockey extended far beyond his playing days, continuing to make a significant impact as a respected player agent and advocate for athletes.
Today, the hockey world has lost a true ambassador of the game.
Our thoughts are with his wife Deborah, his children Brendan, Claudia, Michael and Christopher, along with his many friends, former teammates, colleagues and all those whose lives he touched throughout his remarkable career.
From everyone at UKIHPA, we send our sincere condolences to Claudeโs family and the entire hockey community during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Claude. NHLPA
