The Haringey Racers were an ice hockey team based in London, England. The club was founded in 2013 and played in the Southern Division 2 conference of the English National Ice Hockey League. Their home arena was the Alexandra Palace.
During their four-year tenure at Alexandra Palace, the team failed to make the playoffs, typically finishing mid-table. During the 2017 off-season it was announced, amid controversy, that the Haringey Racers would fold, and the newly formed Haringey Huskies would assume the tenancy at Alexandra Palace. Racers owner Richards claimed that the team had been 'stolen' from him, by Team Manager Lou Scott and former player Lee Mercer - now the owner of the Huskies.[1]
The EIHA would later state that the Racers were unable to compete due to a "breakdown in the relationship between themselves and Alexandra Palace, which includes substantial monies still owed",[2] and as such they approved the Huskies taking on the Palace tenancy.
