Amstel Tijgers

IJshockeyvereniging Amstel Tijgers is an amateur ice hockey team in Amsterdam, the 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.
