Introducing The Irish Wolfhounds
The Ice Skating Association of Ireland is pleased to introduce the Irish Wolfhounds, our new Team Ireland identity for this season’s inaugural ISU Short Track World Tour.
In collaboration with the International Skating Union and a team of designers, each national federation competing on the tour was charged with the task of coming up with a symbol that encapsulates the spirit of their nation’s skaters. Steeped in our ancient history and mythology, the bold and brave Irish Wolfhound is a perfect embodiment of the ambition and drive our short trackers bring to the ice in competition.
“We are thrilled to be a part of this striking and innovative initiative by the ISU and our colleagues worldwide for this year’s ISU Short Track World Tour,” ISAI President Seán Gillis said. “We look forward to the new team identities bringing even stronger engagement with the public and attracting new fans to our incredibly exciting sport.”
This season’s ISU Short Track World Tour launces in Montreal, Canada and will stop in the United States of America, China, Republic of Korea and the Netherlands before culminating in Milan, Italy for the test event of the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympic Games.
