“The Premier Ice Hockey League appears to have folded due to the lack of teams available to compete next season. The remaining clubs have applied to join the appropriate NIHL North or South Leagues. Hull Pirates and Sheffield Steeldogs have applied to join the NIHL North. The APL Solihull Barons are being kept up to date by the league chairman as to the facts of the matter.
We understand there is a level of uncertainty, however we welcome any financially prudent development that is for the benefit to the sport – for the players; supporters and sponsors and allows ice hockey in this country to progress. We will keep you all updated on any facts that emerge over the upcoming weeks.
The APL Solihull Barons see it as business as usual and will continue to build a team ready to compete for next seasons league trophy whoever it is we are playing against. The last season was extremely competitive and we look forward to celebrating this at our Presentation Night on 29th April at 8pm in the Ice Rink Function Room. Look forward to seeing you all there!”

Chair, APL Solihull Barons
