EHL Wolves

The EHL Wolves is a non-professional league hockey team based in the scenic city of Lausanne, Switzerland. Ice hockey is quite a popular sport in Switzerland, which is equally reflected at the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne . The 'EHL Wolves' name of the club was coined in 2010, although the team existed as the 'Ice Hockey Committee' since 2005.

Since its inception in 2005, the EHL wolves have performed exceedingly well and have won numerous accolades in this regard. The most recent being the 2010 championship of "Ligue Lausannoise de hockey-sur-glace". An exhaustive physical regime and spirit building training during the 2011-2012 season has led to an outstanding performance by the club so far with no losses. This has assuredly set history to repeat again in favor of this multi-talented club of young hoteliers.

History

2005: The creation of the EHL Ice Hockey Committee In 2005, Mr. Rodrigue Benoit, a chef at EHL and former European Hockey League player along with Mr. Chris Norton, former EHL Marketing Director and NHL player, and of course the support of students and members of the faculty alike formed the club.

2010: The 1st time Champions The 2009-2010 season was an incredible feat that the team achieved by having a more competitive structure with new players at school, out of whom a few being from the Junior Elite League in Switzerland. EHL defeated the University of Lausanne (UNIL) in a thrilling final to become Champions for the first time in EHL Wolves history.

2010-2011: New name, logo and jerseys The beginning of the 2010-2011 season was marked by the development of the committee with a new logo and a new name: the Wolves! Following the successful previous season, the Wolves found new sponsors to grow their funds and invest in training and material simultaneously. 2011: The beginning of the merchandising During Summer 2011, the EHL Wolves Committee launched a new marketing strategy by implementing merchandising with EHL New Era Caps, EHL Wolves Scarves and EHL Wolves Stickers. In the same time, the EHL Cheerleading Committee partnered with the Wolves!

2012: Champions! Again! Having finished the previous season as runners up, just behind Montchoisi but ahead of the University of Lausanne, the Wolves proved yet again with exceeding rigor the Champions they are and shall always remain.

Sponsors

Logo

One of the most unique Wolves logo for an ice hockey team, the gray wolf (canis lupus), the most popular breed known by us, is the largest wild member of the Canidae family. It represent the noble, yet strong esprit de corps among each individual of the club. This is derived from the excellent reputation the ''Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne enjoys, being renowned as the oldest and best hospitality management school in the World .
