The Vectis Tigers are an amateur ice hockey team from the Isle of Wight, they are currently in pool A of the southern conference of the ENIHL. Although no promotion or relegation system exists between the leagues, the ENIHL is seen as the third tier of English ice hockey. The Isle of Wight also have a team in the EPIHL called the Wightlink Raiders although they play at the same arena the teams currently are not linked in any way. Currently all Vectis Tigers players pay for their own training and travel, although there are sponsorship opportunities available for the forthcoming season. Please contact someone from management or email here for more info.

History

At the end of the 2006/2007 hockey season the EIHA (English Ice Hockey Association) made a decision that the current junior ice hockey format in England needed updating. After much discussion it was agreed that juniors would now end at 'under 18s'. This left many Junior players across the country with a sudden loss of teams to play for. Players not good enough for the English Premier League (EPIHL) but who didnt just want to play Recreational (Rec) hockey were left with only one choice but to play in the ENIHL (Formally English Division 1). Roy Meadows along with the help and support of Cambell MacFarlane as well as many other committed helpers formed the basis of what became the Vectis Tigers. After a failed attempt a few years previous of bringing an ED1 team to the Isle of Wight, it was great news in July of 2007 it was announced the Victis Tigers had been accepted to play in the Southern group of the ENL.
