The Durban Hockey League is a competition staged in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province of South Africa.[1]

The Natal Summer League was first contested in 1995 and was in its third year by 1997. The Kwa Zulu-Natal Open League was organized by the Natal (Durban) Sharks during the early 2000s. In August 2009 it was reported that "The Kwazulu-Natal league is made up of two teams which both play out of the same rink. The rink in Durban, where the teams are based is half the size of a regulation ice hockey rink."[2]

The Sharks remained active until 2012. That year a new team, the Durba Knights, was founded. The Southern Storm were formed in 2015, and the Durban Rays joined the fray in 2016. Games between the teams were played in 2016 and 2017, and the Kwa-Zulu Natal League is documented to have run in 2018 and 2019, featuring senior and junior/intermediate divisions.
