Elite International Youth Hockey in Eindhoven
The 2026 line-up underlines the tournament’s elite and international character, with renowned Dutch clubs such as HC Den Bosch, HC Oranje-Rood and SCHC representing the very top of Dutch youth hockey, alongside European powerhouses like KHC Dragons and Royal Orée from Belgium, HC Knole Park, Guildford HC and East Grinstead HC from England, while Knights from South Africa add a strong overseas dimension, ensuring top-level international competition from the first match onward. This diverse and competitive field guarantees high-level matches from the very first whistle. For young players, it offers a rare opportunity to test themselves against international opposition at an early stage in their development.
Building on a Spectacular First Edition
The inaugural edition of the Holland Elite Hockey Cup Eindhoven in 2025 immediately set a high benchmark. The tournament concluded with an all-English final between HC Knole Park and Surbiton HC. Knole Park delivered a dominant performance, winning the final 3–0 in front of packed sidelines.
The atmosphere throughout the weekend was exceptional. With perfect spring weather, enthusiastic supporters and outstanding talent on display, the event created a true international hockey festival. Over 4,200 photographs were taken across the two days, a testament to the energy, intensity and unforgettable moments that defined the tournament. HC Oranje-Rood secured third place, highlighting the strong domestic competition within an international context.
