Roller BeeZZz make history with their first BIHA victory
The Roller BeeZZz kicked off their adventure in the Belgian BIHA championship in style, winning their very first official game against the Eeklo Dogs with a final score of 5–7, on Saturday, September 27 in Eeklo.
A spectacular first period (3–6)
The tone was set early. After less than five minutes, Dries Debersaques opened the scoring for the BeeZZz (0–1, 04:50). Barely half a minute later, Thomas De Munck doubled the lead (0–2, 05:17).
The Dogs reacted quickly: Jordy De Vent pulled one back (1–2, 05:51), followed by Tim Coppens bringing Eeklo right back into it (2–2, 10:55). But the BeeZZz answered immediately: Milan Vanden Berghe, assisted by De Munck, restored the lead (2–3, 09:09). Debersaques struck again to extend the gap (2–4, 11:48).
John Dhont gave the Dogs hope (3–4, 17:36), but the end of the period went BeeZZz’ way once more: Keano Vertriest on the power play (3–5, 19:37) and captain Niels Janssens (3–6, 24:44) secured a solid halftime lead.
Perfect start to the second half
Right after the break, the Roller BeeZZz struck instantly: just 37 seconds into the second period, Idris Vanden Berghe, assisted by Debersaques, made it 3–7 (00:37, 2nd). A lightning-fast goal that gave the newcomers breathing room.
Dogs’ fightback (5–7)
Spurred on by their home crowd, the Dogs pushed back. John Dhont reignited the contest (4–7, 06:58), before Dalibor Ryckaert closed the gap further (5–7, 15:20). The final minutes were tense: penalties, a tactical timeout, and constant pressure from Eeklo. But the BeeZZz defense, backed by goaltender Maïté De Taey, stood strong until the final buzzer.
Writing the first page of history
With this 5–7 win, the Roller BeeZZz made a memorable debut in the championship. A sharp offense led by Dries Debersaques, combined with solid team play and defensive resilience, secured this historic first victory.
Belgian Inline Hockey Cup kicks off: Lords Of the Citadel overpower Flying Eagles (12–5)

The Lords started strong: Valerian Vandercamme opened the scoring (1:16), quickly followed by Gabriel Tonneau on the power play (2:18). The Eagles answered back through Gregor Bomba (9:41) and Alexander Belmans (10:55), cutting the gap to 3–2. But the Lords struck again: Julian Vandercamme (13:36) and Simon Ubbelohde (14:17) extended the lead to 5–2.
The Eagles reacted once more (Bomba 18:23), before Valerian restored the margin (19:50). Despite a penalty against the Eagles (21:28), Jormen Cuypers managed to score shorthanded (22:55). Right before the break, Vivian Vandercamme added another for the Lords (23:55).
Halftime: 7–4 Lords.
Second half
Back on the floor, Simon Ubbelohde stole the show with a natural hat-trick (8:29, 9:27, 11:56), twice assisted by Vivian, making it 10–4. Eagles’ penalties kept hurting, and Julian Vandercamme capitalized on another power play (20:34) for 11–4. Ian Suys pulled one back (20:47), but Vivian Vandercamme sealed the deal (21:23).
Final score: 12–5.

The Belgian Inline Hockey Association Proudly Launches the 2025–2026 Season
The Belgian Inline Hockey Association can proudly celebrate the official launch of the 2025–2026 season, which kicked off this past weekend with a vibrant showcase of youth and community spirit.
More than a dozen U10 and U12 games marked the beginning of this new chapter, giving countless young players the joy of returning to the rink and discovering the thrill of competition once again. Hosted at the brand-new facilities of the Lords of the Citadel, this youth-focused tournament highlighted the importance of developing the game at its very roots.
Starting the season with a tournament dedicated entirely to our youngest players underlines how essential youth development is to the future of Belgian inline hockey. The event also served as a platform for younger, less experienced referees, offering them the opportunity to take charge of their very first games—a clear sign that the Association’s commitment extends beyond players to every pillar of the sport.
At the same time, Beaumont played host to the annual Chaps Trophy, traditionally the final preseason tournament. The weekend offered a fantastic spectacle, with the Rhinos of Tourcoing claiming victory in the Silver category and the Phoenix triumphing once again in the Gold category. With this second consecutive win in the top category, the Phoenix proudly retain their crown.
To top it off, fans were treated to an entertaining exhibition match that pitted a team of referees against a selection of all-stars from other groups, adding a touch of fun and camaraderie to the occasion.
With these events, it is now official: the Belgian Inline Hockey Association is proud to declare the 2025–2026 season open!
We look forward to seeing players, coaches, referees, and fans return to the rinks across the country for what promises to be an exciting and memorable season. Together, we continue to grow the game, strengthen our community, and share the passion for inline hockey.

Inline Hockey Belgium transition to BIHA
Dear players, parents, and supporters,
It’s now official: Belgian inline hockey will move forward independently from the RBIHF.
This friendly separation was a necessary step to allow the RBIHF to remain IIHF-compliant, while giving our discipline the space and structure it needs to grow.
This transition hasn’t happened overnight. It was carefully prepared by the new organizational team within the BIHA, who are now ready to lead the way.
The new season is already taking shape, and clubs have been aware of this evolution for quite some time.
If you have any questions regarding this transition, please direct them to the new BIHA structure.
We warmly thank the RBIHF for all the years of collaboration.
Together toward the future. Long live Inline Hockey!
