Amsterdam Tigers are an ice hockey team in Amsterdam, Netherlands, playing in the Eerste Divisie.

History

The Tigers existed in various guises from their foundation in 1963 until 2010 when the professional team folded, leaving only the amateur and junior teams. The team reformed in time for the 2014-15 Eerste Divisie season. The following season they moved up to the newly formed BeNe League, where they remained until the 2019-20 season.

Ahead of the 2019-20 BeNe Season, the Tigers announced they would be leaving the league and joining the Dutch First Division. [1]

Upon reformation, the team was known as Amstel Tijgers Amsterdam before changing in 2017 to its present name. The amateur and junior teams have kept the Tigers moniker.

Over the years the names of the team have included: Amsterdam Bulldogs, Boretti Tigers, Amsterdam G's and Al Capone Flames.
