Junior hockey in the Netherlands

Junior hockey in the Netherlands is organized by the Netherlands Ice Hockey Association and currently has leagues ranging from U12 to U17. The U20 competition was last contested in 2009-10 (at the U21 age limit for that year only).

Since the 2012-13 season, the U12, U14, and U17 divisions have consisted of both a National Cup (played earlier in the year) and a National Championship.

The U16 age group was replaced by the U17 division prior to the 2006-07 season. There are U10 and U8 levels of play as well. Tournaments are organized at these levels, but no official championship is played.
