British champion (ice hockey)
The British ice hockey champions have been determined annually in various forms since 1930 and since 1966. The championship had different names: Patton Cup , Icy Smith Cup , Heineken Championship or Sekonda or bmiBaby Playoff Championship .
The best eight teams in the Elite Ice Hockey League are currently playing the championship in playoff mode. The quarter-finals are played as a home and away leg. The semi-finals and finals are played in a Final Four over a weekend at the National Ice Center in Nottingham .
As a rule, however, the league championship, i.e. winning the highest British league, is considered more important. This entitles z. B. to participate in the European Champions Hockey League .
