The Haringey Huskies are a British ice hockey team based in London, England. The Huskies are members of the NIHL 2 South East Division and play their home games at Alexandra Palace.
The EIHA announced on 1 June 2017 that the Haringey Racers would no longer be operating a NIHL franchise out of Alexandra Palace, instead a new team, the Haringey Huskies, would be offered the Racers spot in the league.[4]
This announcement was not without controversy as Racers owner David Richards Jnr would claim that the franchise had been stolen from him by the Huskies ownership.[2] The EIHA would later state that this was not the case and that the Racers were unable to compete due to a "breakdown in the relationship between themselves and Alexandra Palace, which includes substantial monies still owed",[5] and as such they approved the Huskies filling the slot left by the Racers. The first player signed to the Huskies was former Racer Stuart Appleby.[6]
The Huskies faced the Basingstoke Buffalo in their maiden game, suffering a 6–3 loss,[7] however, due to the Buffalo fielding an ineligible player, this result was overturned and the Huskies declared the victors.[8] During this game, Ben Osborne scored the first goal in franchise history.[7] In the 2020 Wilkinson cup (NIHL south 2) the huskies came top, winning the cup.
