IJshockeyclub Capitals Leeuwarden

What IJshockeyclub Capitals Leeuwarden does

OG Capitals Leeuwarden, legally known as IJshockeyclub Capitals Leeuwarden, is a privately operated ice hockey club founded in 2010 and headquartered in Leeuwarden, Friesland, Netherlands. The club operates from the 11Stedenhal arena and runs a vertically integrated player pathway that begins with the IJshockey School for children and continues through age-tiered competitive youth teams (U9, U11, U13, U15, U17, and U23, the latter in partnership with GIJS Marne Groningen) up to the senior OG Capitals 1 team, which competes in the Dutch league system. A recreational team, Warriors Leeuwarden, additionally serves non-competitive players using the same venue.

The club serves two primary customer segments: youth players seeking competitive ice hockey opportunities in the region, and recreational players seeking casual play and training. It generates revenue through three streams: recurring membership fees, ticket and season pass sales (fulfilled via Ticketpoint), and sponsorship income anchored by OG Clean Fuels as headline sponsor alongside Bauer, Autowijma, Groot Techniek, Cupconcept, Omrin, and DSM Firmenich. The organization is community-owned and volunteer-supported, governed by a board (bestuur), with only 9 employees on the disclosed headcount.

Supporting offerings include season tickets for the OG Capitals 1 home schedule, the OG Capitals Recycle Cups sustainability initiative, the OG Capitals Connect supporter membership program, and club merchandise sold through Spinoff Nederland. The club went through a rebrand to OG Capitals Leeuwarden reflecting the OG Clean Fuels headline sponsor, with the prior name Capitals Leeuwarden still in operational use. The club celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2025 and has no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, institutional investors, or funding rounds.
