Officially established in 2006, the Night-Wolves ice hockey club was founded by a coach/player dressed in number "10" , who brought together crack elements of dedicated professionals, outlaws, nomads and local enthusiast, with the simple philosophy that ice hockey was for everyone
The appropriately named Night-Wolves, would welcome any chance to take the ice and quite often found themselves playing in the moonlight hours, and sometimes even onto dawn
For the early years, the Night-Wolves were based out of the historic Streatham ice arena which was first opened in 1931, however after the many hard-hitting years of hockey it all took a toll on the famous Streatham arena and it finally closed in 2011
For the next 22 months the Night-Wolves made a temporary rink in the heart of Brixton, South London their new home, where they continued to grow and introduce a new community to ice hockey
Since November 2013 the Night-Wolves have returned to their old den of Streatham, South London, playing out of one of London’s newest olympic sized pad on the infamous high road
Today the Night-Wolves can be found in Streatham, still playing all year round, still on the ice two to three times a week only now at much more reasonable times of the evening.
Each year the Night-Wolves run an in-house tournament for all players willing to put themselves forward for a chance at glory and gloating right.
At each opportunity the Night-Wolves jump at the chance to take their South-London brand of hockey out to the world, in recent years traveling to Vancouver , Las Vegas and Japan as well as hosting home games for teams from as far as Russia and Canada.
In 2017 the Night-Wolves lost one of its original and most loved player James Graham, known to many on the team as Jim.
Hailing from Canada Jim embodied everything hockey, always had a good story and knew how to have fun. Over the years Jim not only had an unmeasurable impact on the Night-Wolves but a profound influence on all of Hockey in Streatham.
Despite poor health Jim continued to show his strength and play competitively right into his last days.
To this day Jim is still deeply missed and nobody has or will ever dawn his number 55 onto the ice again
For many years prior to Covid the Night-wolves were privileged to host; National recreational tournaments, In house leagues and Summer cups
every time they ensured they always delivered on three promises, fair competition, a fun time and most importantly some good nights out.
During the Covid-19 pandemic years, The Night-Wolves kept ice hockey alive in Streatham by dividing up the team and ice into the same weekly cross ice 3vs3 bubbles and by observing strict social distancing.
Where other clubs folded and disappeared into history the Night-Wolves persevered as a team.
Most recreational hockey clubs do survive past 4 seasons, even fewer make it to 7 seasons. In 2026 the Night-Wolves celebrated it 20th season on the ice.
Over that time, they have been home to over a 1000 different players for all over the world: Some new to the sport, some old, some returning and for some just looking stop over for their time in London
The Night-Wolves celebrated with a new jersey and a limited-edition patch
Over the years the Night-Wolves have seen many changes, but the old philosophy remains the same, Hockey is for everyone.
