Details

This ice hockey pin is issued in several colors, including blue, silver and bronze. It concerns brooches as well as stick pins. After the closure of the Houtrusthal in 1984, ice hockey club HOKIJ Houtrust moved to De Uithof and played there until 1994 under the name HOKIJ Uithof. In 1994 HOKIJ Uithof merged with HIJS HOKIJ. HIJS HOKIJ has played at the Uithof since it opened in 1972. HOKIJ Houtrust or HOKIJ Uithof is the association that originated from the ice hockey club "RAAK", founded in 1972, the fusion club between IJHC The Hague and IJHC Rotterdam. Raak was founded by angry sponsors of HIJS HOKIJ who left for the Uithof in 1972. Raak and the later IJHC Houtrust / Duyvestein Wintersport and HOKIJ Houtrust continued to play in the Houtrusthal as the second ice hockey club in The Hague until the closure in 1984.
