Background

Red Eagles Hokkaido, based in the “City of Ice” Tomakomai, is the most storied professional ice hockey team in Japan. Founded in 1925 as the Oji Eagles, the club boasts a staggering 37 All-Japan Championship titles and has been a cornerstone of the Asia League Ice Hockey (AL) since its inception in 2003. In 2021, the team transitioned to a community-focused professional model, rebranding as the Red Eagles Hokkaido while maintaining their reputation as a powerhouse of speed and tactical discipline.

The 2025–2026 season has been a landmark year for the Eagles, as they secured the Regular Season Championship with a dominant 30-5 record. Led by regular-season MVP Teruto Nakajima and captain Shogo Nakajima—who led the league in assists—the team has advanced to the Playoff Finals starting in late March 2026. This championship series against their fierce rivals, HL Anyang, represents the pinnacle of Asian ice hockey, pitting Hokkaido’s elite homegrown talent and veteran goaltender Yuta Narisawa against the defending champions in a high-stakes battle for regional supremacy.
