Please also note that if you get a fixture (match) notification (not training) and you do not respond we presume your child is not attending and they may not be allocated to the squad to play = so please do not just turn up and expect them to get match time.

Additional Information

Hockey Ireland Membership Number Registration

Further to the directive from our National Governing Body Hockey Ireland ALL players – senior and junior -  are to have a Hockey Ireland membership number and are not allowed participate in hockey activities without one. 

Following on from recent communications from Hockey Ireland, Gameday, the new online registration system is now open for the 2022/23 season.

Please use to Leinster Hockey Leagues - GameDay Registration (mygameday.app) to pay your / your child’s Hockey Ireland membership. 

Hockey Ireland will be holding an online tutorial on the 10/08/2022 at 20.00Hrs. To register for this tutorial please email membership@hockey.ie . Similarly if you have any questions please contact them.

Hockey Ireland are encouraging all players and coaches to be paid up by the 1st September 2022

If you have already registered with Hockey Ireland but do not know your HI ME number, please use that link to login into your Hockey Ireland profile and it will be there. Please note there is a "forgot password" option to gain access to your account.

As a parent / guardian you will have to repeat this process for each individual child. However please note that they will then keep this HI membership number for life. Additionally, as a parent, you can link each child's membership to your own profile (even if not a player) so that you will only receive ONE email from Hockey Ireland rather than individual emails for each child.

Please complete all information to include uploading any coaching, umpiring and other relevant certificates, adding a photo (Senior members only), Emergency Contact details, etc.
