The next draw of one of the main championships of the Arab ice hockey world starts today. Now its time for the EIHL 2023-2024

Six teams will take part in this season: Shaheen Falcons, Mighty Camels, Storms, Galaxy Warriors, White Bears and Theebs. This number of participants is a record for the local championship. The last few years, only four or five teams have played in the league. The geography of the tournament is still the same: three teams from Dubai, two from Abu Dhabi, and one from Al Ain

The league will kick off with a match of long-standing principled rivals: Shaheen Falcons and Mighty Camels. The game will be held in Abu Dhabi and will start at 20:30 local time (UTC+4:00)

Recall that the champion of the 2022-2023 season was the White Bears team, mainly consisting of Russian ice hockey players. For example, the team captain Ilya Zubov recently played for Spartak Moscow and Amur Khabarovsk in the KHL championship. And their goalkeeper Denis Perevozchikov was in the system of the Ak Bars ice hockey club from 2009 to 2016
