The Sydney Ice Dogs (sometimes the "Western" as well as "The Dogs") are a semi-professional ice hockey team in the Australian Ice Hockey League. The team plays its home games at the Catholic Club’s ice rink in Liverpool, New South Wales, a suburb of south-western Sydney.

The Ice Dogs (along with the Melbourne Ice and Newcastle North Stars) were part of a three-team expansion to the AIHL in 2002 and rose to quick success, winning the Goodall Cup in 2004.

Ice hockey in Western Sydney goes back to 1981, when the Blacktown Flyers were a foundation member of the New South Wales Superleague. While lasting for thirteen seasons, this league struggled to gain stability and folded, to be reborn in 1994 as the ECSL, however it too would be disbanded in 2000 with Western Sydney having no representative in the newly-formed AIHL.
