League Business[]

The league held its official season launch event at Bondi Icebergs Club on 20 march 2024. Mick McCormack was appointed as the first patron of the AIHL at the event.[3]

The AIHL accepted an invitation by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to open up an additional import slot for the 2024 season to Ukrainian players seeking respite from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Each AIHL would be allowed to sign one Ukrainian player from Ukraine at no cost to their player points-cap.[4]

The AIHL confirmed AIHL.TV would return in 2024 on 4 March. The paid service would provide live and on-demand online streaming of all AIHL regular season and finals games, 155 games in total.[5] With the sudden collapse of 2023 service provided Clutch in late 2023, the service provider for AIHL.TV in 2024 moved to Swedish company StayLive AB.[6] Thought fox Media Group, ATC Productions, Spacequake Sports and Front Row Screens (FRS Sport) continue as the four local production companies associated with the service. 2023 season streams would also be made available on the service.[7] On 8 June 2024, the AIHL.TV service was expanded to include the release of an app on Apple iOS and Andriod Play.[8]

In July 2024, the AIHL announced a new Finals major sponsorship deal with Hungry Jack’s. This was the league’s first major Finals sponsorship since Air Canada’s deal that ended at the conclusion of 2018. The Hungry Jack’s deal will include branding at the Melbourne Icehouse, special activities and promotions during the Finals weekend.[9]

Exhibition games[]

In 2024, the Newcastle Northstars and Central Coast Rhinos were the only two teams to schedule exhibitions games. The pair faced off over two games in Newcastle and Erina, Central Coast in March 2024. Apart from these two exhibition games, the Sydney Ice Dogs, Brisbane Lightning and Adelaide Adrenaline arranged intraclub pre-season exhibition games. This included a early March men’s and women’s showcase in Brisbane and a alumni vs current team match-up in Adelaide in early April.[10]

Personnel changes[]

Ron Kuprowsky ended his five-year stint with the Sydney Bears as their head coach in October 2023. During this time, Ron guided the Bears to two consecutive grand finals appearances, one Hellyer conference trophy and one championship title.[11] Kuprowsky was later unveiled as the new head coach of the Central Coast Rhinos in December 2023, replacing Ashley Marsh. Marsh moved into a new coaching role with the Rhinos.[12] In February 2024, the Brisbane Lightning announced the hiring of the vastly experienced Canadian Mike Sirant as an associate coach. Sirant joined the Queenslanders after stepping down from his 30-year position as head coach of the University of Manitoba hockey program.[13] In April 2024, Both the Sydney Bears and Melbourne Mustangs appointed new head coaches. American Tyler Huberty took over the vacant head coaching role at the Bears. Huberty moved to Sydney after spending four years as the assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma hockey program.[14] Scott Timmins takes over head coaching responsibilities for the Mustangs but remains on the playing roster too. Timmins links up for the Mustangs for the third season in a row but his first as a player/coach. Timmins replaces Jon Moses, who was acting interim coach for the second half of last season following the departure of Patrick McMahon.[15]

In June 2024, the Adelaide Adrenaline released Stu Henly from his head coaching duties and appointed Canadian forward Kaden Elder has player/coach for the remainder of the 2024 season.[16] In July 2024, the Sydney Bears parted ways with American head coach Tyler Huberty. Huberty's removal shocked the AIHL community with the Bears sitting top of the league standings at the time.[17] Former Sydney Bears player and team icon Vlad Rubes was appointed Huberty's replacement.[18]
