Report

Armagh Stars (12-2-1), Longford Hawks (14-0-0), Waterford Vikings (10-2-1) and Clare Waves (13-0-0) were the four division winners of the Inline Hockey Ireland League 1 – the second level of Inline Hockey in Ireland – in 2015-16.

After the season Cork Wolfpack were promoted to the Elite League and new team Midland Thunder (Longford) replaced Maigh Eo Bulls, who took a year out and UCC Skulls and Killa Beez who dropped out. Kilkenny Bandits returned after a years absence.

About

After a number of seasons where there were separate Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland Inline Hockey Leagues with an All-Ireland Playoff, the first Hibernia All-Ireland League was introduced in 2015-16. League 1 was the second level of Inline Hockey in Ireland in 2015-16.

East Coast Blaze, Dun Dealgan Warriors and Dublin Wolves had joined from the Northern Ireland Inline Hockey Association as well as the 2nd team of the Northern Cyclones and Bangor Chiefs and Cork Wolfpack and Waterford Shadows from the National Inline Hockey League after 2014-15.

Non-Returning teams were Belfast Pitbulls, Belfast Bruins and Raiders from the NIIHA and Galway Pitbulls and Kilkenny Bandits from the NIHL. These teams were repaced by the Clare Waves, Maigh Eo Bulls, Clare Badgers, West Coast Pirates, Killa Beez, Ballymena Vandals, UCC Skulls, and Waterford Vikings.
