==Bandy==
===History===
The sport of '''bandy''' was first introduced to the [[Netherlands]] during the harsh winter season of 1890-91 by William Johan Herman (Pim) Mulier, an avid sportsman who spearheaded the development of multiple sports in the country. Mulier, who had spent time studying in [[England]], was friends with Charles Goodman Tebbutt, the captain of the venerable [[Bury Fen Bandy Club]].

On January 3, 1891, after prior discussions with Mulier, Tebbutt and his Bury Fen Bandy Club departed from Harwich, en route to the Netherlands via boat. Mulier wished for Bury Fen to play three exhibition bandy matches, in order to acquaint the locals with the sport. 

The first game was staged in [[Haarlem]] on January 5, with Bury Fen taking on the [[IJsclub Haarlem en Omstreken]] (Ice Club Haarlem and surroundings). Mulier played for Haarlem. The English side won by a convincing margin of 14-1. Bury Fen's latter two matches were played in Amsterdam; the first pitting them against a local selection [[Amsterdamsche IJsclub]] (bolstered by Mulier) and the second featuring a rematch against Haarlem. The Dutch were again defeated by the English in both matches, but despite the losses, the early seeds for the development of the sport had been sewn.

On January 28, 1892, the [[Amsterdamsche Hockey & Bandy Club]] (AH&BC) was established. Other clubs including the [[Leeuwarder Bandy Club]] in [[Leeuwarden]], the [[Bolswarder Bandy Club]] in [[Bolswald]], the [[Thialf IJs-Kolfvereniging]] in [[Heerenveen]], and the [[Zwolsche Atletische Club]] in [[Zwolle]] soon sprung up. 

Tebbutt and Mulier arranged for Bury Fen Bandy Club to embark on a second tour of the Netherlands in the winter of 1892-93. The Dutch were much more successful against the English side this time, with the Haarlem squad defeating the English with an emphatic 8-0 victory.

The first unofficial ''Dutch Championship'' in bandy was held during the winter of 1895. Teams from Amsterdam, Haarlem, Zwolle, and Delft competed in the championship. Haarlem was crowned champions.

The ''Amsterdamsche Courant'' of January 19, 1897, reported that a match between Hockey en Bandyclub Haarlem en Omstreken and a team of Amsterdam students had taken part on the previous Sunday. The same paper reported on January 23 that the Amsterdamsche Hockey & Bandy Club had created a junior department for those under 18.

A central governing body for the sport was formed with the creation of the [[Nederlandsche Hockey en Bandy Bond]] on October 8, 1898. The Haagsche Hockey en Bandy Club won the first official Dutch Championship in 1899. The ''Boek de sporten'' published a chapter on the sport in 1900.

In 1901, the Dutch played their first international bandy matches in [[Davos]], [[Switzerland]]. Between 1901 and 1905, Haarlem competed in the [[Davos International Bandy Tournament]] every year. The 1905 tournament also served as the ''European Championship''.

Although bandy was played in 1908 and 1909, a string of mild winters in the Netherlands caused the sport to die out in the country.

==Ice Hockey==
===History===
After bandy had faded in the Netherlands, a series of ice hockey (although it was still often referred to as "bandy") matches were arranged in January 1929 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the IJsclub Haarlem en Omstreken. Two teams from Antwerp, Belgium, played a demonstration match against one another as part of the festivities on January 13. A tournament was also staged in Baarn on the same day.

[[HYS The Hague|H.H.Y.C. Den Haag]] was founded in 1933. On April 16, a general meeting was held in The Hague, where a board was elected. On December 6, 1933, the ''Haarlemsche Courant'' reported a match having taken place between two school teams of the Haarlemsche IJsclub. On the same day, the ''Haagsche Courant'' referenced a training match between two H.H.Y.C. Den Haag sides. On January 5, 1934, H.H.Y.C. played its first international match in Antwerp against a Belgian opposition. IJsclub Haarlem en Omstreken also organized tournaments for schoolchildren in 1933.

The [[Netherlands Ice Hockey Association]] (Nederlandse IJshockey Bond) was founded on September 6, 1934, as the successor to the Nederlandse Hockey en Bandy Bond. It later joined the [[International Ice Hockey Federation|LIHG]] in 1935. [[A.IJ.H.C. Amsterdam]] participated in the [[1934 Brussels Tournament]] while the city of Amsterdam hosted a [[1934 Amsterdam Tournament|tournament]] at its newly-opened ice rink on December 8 and 9, 1934. The first opening match at the rink had been held on November 24. Rinks later opened in [[The Hague]] and [[Tilburg]]. 

On December 20, 1935, an ice hockey club was founded in Amerfoot. Hockey also soon spread to the cities of Alkmaar, Bilthoven, Bussum, Doorn, Heiloo, Naarden and Rotterdam. On January 27, 1936, a youth league containing six to seven teams was announced. Teams were to come from Amsterdam, The Hague, Haarlem, Leiden and Naarden.

The [[Lippens Beker]], a multi-national competition also known as the North West European Cup, featuring a rotating schedule which featured some matches in Amsterdam, was held for the first time during the 1936-37 season. The following year, the national Dutch competition for the [[Dutch Cup|Nestor Beker]] was staged. It was won by Den Haag in 1938 and Amsterdam in 1939.

No national Dutch competition was played in 1940, although an [[1939-40 Inter Urban League|Inter Urban League]] was staged between Dutch and Belgian teams. During [[World War II]], hockey was played during the winters of 1941 and 1942, but the sport then went on hiatus until 1945. It was decided it was too dangerous to play against teams with Jewish players.

H.H.Y.C. Den Haag's home rink was closed and the team was only able to play away games. As some members of [[A.IJ.H.C. Amsterdam]] adhered to fascist ideology, [[Ijsvogels Amsterdam]] was created by players loyal to their homeland. 

The city of Tilburg was liberated from the Nazis on October 27, 1944. The Canadian troops stationed there soon became aware of the local ice rink and, upon finding it damaged, had new piping imported from France. The first matches in the Netherlands since 1942 were played in Tilburg in January 1945. They all involved various Canadian service branches either playing against one another or the local [[Destil Trappers|T.IJ.S.C. Tilburg]] squad.

The [[Eredivisie|Dutch Championship]] was set up for the 1945-46 season, which marked the first full season of hockey in the Netherlands since 1939.
