'''IJshockeyvereniging Amstel Tijgers''' is a semi-pro ice hockey team in [[Amsterdam]], [[Netherlands]], playing in the Dutch [[Eerste Divisie]] (first division) . It once consisted of an amateur and a pro-section, which were separate legal entities. The amateur team currently plays at the [[Jaap Eden baan]]. The amateur team plays in the Eerste divisie, while the professional team played in the [[Eredivisie]], the Dutch professional hockey league. However, poor attendance, lack of sponsorship and poor performance on the ice (even forfeiting a game during the 2009-2010 season) led to the disbanding of the professional team in the summer of 2010.
