The ITHL was created with the intent of building an EASHL community that is fun, competitve and inclusive to all skill levels.
Not to be mistaken with bigger, more well known leagues, the ITHL’s main goal is to create a community full of good people, before worrying about how good you are at the game.
That said, every season gets more and more competitive.
Playing competitive 6v6 EASHL is one of the most fun gaming experiences imaginable, and we focus on making it as fun as possible.

I have been playing EASHL since NHL 10 and have always loved the concept of playing virtual hockey with all human controlled players. I am very happy to finally be a part of a community of people who love 6v6 EASHL as much as I do.
The ITHL was created back in April 2020 and we are now in our ninth season.
Starting with 7 teams in Season 1, the ITHL now includes 30+ teams.
As the league begins to get off of the ground, we aim to create the best league environment possible with engaging social media accounts, streams and our discord server. The fun doesn’t stop when you get off the ice!
Here are some examples:

In our discord, pick up games are organized every day, so if you are looking for new people to play with, or just want to play 6’s more, it is a perfect opportunity to do so!
The competition within the league has improved each season. Many players that have played multiple seasons in the league have gotten noticeably better at the game.
With a number of very skilled teams joining in recent seasons, we have altered the league format to accommodate to both low end and high end teams with the implementation of Divisions and the Swiss System. I believe parity and competition throughout, enables players of different skill levels to get better at the game all together.
As you can see, we have a running league website where we update standings and statistics daily! Now players can keep track of their teams stats or see how other teams and players are doing around the league. It has been a great addition to the ITHL.
