EIHL officials set for Movember

The Elite League is proud to announce the launch of the ‘Mofficials’ as our game officials take part in Movember across November 2024.

As an official Movember partner, our game officials will be growing moustaches during November to raise funds for global men’s health charity Movember to help fund groundbreaking research programs addressing the most pressing men’s health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer.

A selection of these limited edition shirts will be auctioned and raffled at the end of the month with all profits being donated directly to Movember.

“We’re extremely honoured to be joining this important initiative as an official Movember partner this November,” said Head of Hockey Operations Liam Sewell. “Movember isn’t just about growing moustaches, it carries a vital message and funds important projects that affect the lives of millions of people worldwide. This is the first of several charity partners we will be working with during the 2024/25 season and we hope that everyone across the league will be able to play a part in their own way.”

A Movember spokesperson said, "The Elite League is stepping up this Movember, growing some serious moustaches to raise funds for men’s health. At Movember, we believe there’s strength in numbers—teams like Mofficials bring communities together to tackle the big issues facing men today. Whether it’s growing a Mo, taking on a challenge, or hosting an event, it’s all about supporting the guys who need it most. We couldn’t be more grateful to our community of supporters who’ve put in the work over the years. However you get involved, know you’re helping to change the game for men’s health."

About Movember
Twenty years ago, a bristly idea was born in Melbourne, Australia, igniting a movement that would transcend borders and change the face of men's health forever. The movement, known as Movember, united people from all walks of life. Sparking billions of important conversations, raising vital funds, and shattering the silence surrounding men's health issues. Since 2003, the trailblazing charity has challenged the status quo, shaken up men’s health research and transformed the way that health services reach and support men. Taking on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, with unwavering determination.

They have raised over £873.9 million for men’s health, thanks to a passionate network of global Movember supporters. These critical funds have delivered more than 1,320 men’s health projects around the world. Funding hundreds of biomedical research projects and developing some of the largest prostate cancer registries in the world, based on the real-life experiences of hundreds of thousands of men. Since taking on mental health and suicide prevention in 2006, Movember has emphasised the importance of better social connections, early recognition of what men’s poor mental health looks like, and how clinicians can better respond to men in distress. They want to make sure more men know what to do when mental health issues appear, and that their supporters are better prepared to step in when they need it.

Movember will continue championing new research, cutting-edge treatments and healthy behaviours. Advocating for inclusive, gender-responsive healthcare systems that are tailored to the unique needs of men, women and LGBTQI+ people, from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. In doing so, Movember hope to forge a future where barriers to healthy living are overcome, stigmas are removed, and where everyone has an equal opportunity to live a long healthy life. By improving men's health, we can have a profoundly positive impact on women, families, and society. Because healthier men mean a healthier world.
