About HC Oranje-Rood

HC Oranje-Rood return to the Euro Hockey League after a seven-year absence, having topped the regular-season standings in the Dutch Hoofdklasse last season. Their return to Europe will be extra special with the club hosting EHL Men’s ROUND1 at their home ground in Eindhoven in October.

The Eindhoven side combines international experience with exciting talent and has plenty of star quality throughout the squad. That was underlined at the recent World Cup where Spanish trio Pol Cabré-Verdiell, Gerard Clapés and Borja Lacalle won silver while Argentine goalkeeper Tomi Santiago returned with a bronze medal.

Dutch internationals Joep de Mol and Tijmen Reyenga and Belgium’s Arthur de Sloover add further world-class experience. Up front, Scottish striker Struan Walker made a huge impact in his first season in Eindhoven, scoring 26 goals and winning the prestigious Gouden Stick as the Hoofdklasse’s best player.

Oranje-Rood have further strengthened their squad for the new season. Jaïr van der Horst returns to Eindhoven from Den Bosch, as does Pim Haring following his spell with Tilburg, while Belgian international Victor Foubert joins from KHC Dragons.

At the same time, the club continues to invest in young talent and the pathway from its own academy into the first team.

Oranje-Rood’s European heritage runs deep. In 2015, predecessor club Oranje Zwart lifted the EHL trophy with current Oranje-Rood defender Joep de Mol part of that famous team.

Another member of the 2015 EHL-winning side, Thijs Bams, is now part of the Heren 1 coaching staff as assistant coach. – providing a direct link between that historic European triumph and the team returning to the EHL today.

Club heroes Bob de Voogd and Jelle Galema helped them qualify with their performances last season before retiring from the panel having played a huge part in their EHL story.

Now, European hockey returns to Eindhoven. With a strong squad, a proud European history and the backing of the Oranje-Rood crowd, the club is looking forward to welcoming Europe’s best back to one of the EHL’s most familiar stages.
