National Iceball League Clubs

Registration for National Iceball League clubs for the 2024-2025 season is open. Membership registration is free and gets you access to activities and events run by the club you register with. Club members will collectively organize their club's activities through the season and members are responsible for covering their club's expenses. Clubs are intended to work towards building up to putting a competitive team together for the first National Iceball League season being planned for the 2025-2026 season by offering recreational iceball programs to introduce people to playing iceball in 2024 and 2025 and if a club has enough players who want to play competitively prior to the start of official NIL competition then some exhibition games and tournaments between clubs can be organized to provide an earlier opportunity for competitive play.

About Us

Iceball Association, a part of Waddell Games, was founded by Joel Waddell in partnership with Ministry Motion in late August 2019 to organize and run events for a new sport that Joel invented called iceball with a mission to contribute to the needs of others starting by raising awareness for a little-known condition called misophonia. Iceball can be described as a combination of hockey and handball as the game is played on ice and the player positions are the same as hockey player positions and many of the rules resemble hockey rules, but goals are scored by throwing a ball into the net. In summary, misophonia is a sensitivity to specific sounds that trigger emotional and physical reactions and, in some cases, there can be visual triggers as well. Joel is a Christian and his primary source of motivation to help others comes from his faith and, for this reason, Iceball Association was founded on Christian values.
