The LEAGUE TITLE  (see below for table)

From Elite League...
Ten teams from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland currently compete in the Elite League, which is split into two Conferences.


Elite League and Conference

Belfast Giants, Cardiff Devils, Coventry Blaze, Nottingham Panthers and Sheffield Steelers compete in the Erhardt Conference. This is named after Carl Erhardt who captained Great Britain to their Olympic gold in 1936. The winners are awarded the Erhardt Trophy.

Braehead Clan, Edinburgh Capitals, Dundee Stars, Fife Flyers and Manchester Storm make up the Gardiner Conference. This is named after Charlie Gardiner - the Edinburgh-born netminder who captained Chicago Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup in 1934. The winners are awarded the Gardiner Trophy.

Each side plays teams in their own Conference eight times (four at home and four away) and face sides in the other Conference four times (twice at home and twice away).
The winner of the Elite League title is the side with the most points from their full 52-game season. (though the schedule has a bias factor for a good side within the Gardiner conference because of the number of games played/not played against certain teams -ED).

The PLAY OFFS

The season ends with the playoffs. The top eight seeds progress to the two-legged quarter-finals (home and away).

The Elite League champions will be seeded number one for the playoffs, while the second seed will be the winner of the Conference that does not produce the league winner.
The remaining six playoff spots will be taken in order from the final Elite League table.

In the event of the league title winner not winning their Conference, the order will be as follows.
The number-one seed will still be the Elite League winners with the two Conference winners taking seeds two and three (higher rank determined by their league position).
Seeds four to eight will then be determined by the Elite League table.

Quarter-finals will follow the usual match-ups over two legs with seed one facing eight, two against seven, three versus six and four playing five.
Overtime and penalties will be used after the second leg if needed.

Playoff finals weekend takes place at Nottingham's National Ice Centre, usually in the first weekend of April, with the semi-finals taking place on the Saturday and the third v fourth-placed match and Grand Final on the Sunday.
Seedings for the semi-final and final will be determined by the original quarter-final ranking, so the highest-placed team left in the playoffs will be ranked as the highest seed.
The highest seed will play the lowest seed in the first semi-final, with the remaining seeds playing in the second semi-final.

The two losing semi-finalists will meet in the third v fourth-placed match (silly - ED), while the winners will go head to head in the Elite League playoff final.


QUARTER FINALS

Cardiff v Dundee ... 26th March (2-4) and 27th March (4-1) = aggregate score 6-5 and Cardiff win
Coventry v Sheffield ... 26th March (5-3) and 27th March (3-3) = aggregate score 8-6 and Coventry win
Fife v Braehead ... 26th March  (2-1) and 27th March (2-2) = aggregate score 4-3 and Fife win

There are no other dual nationals that have the UK as their second nationality. The rules state at least 2 imports must have EU passports, not UK passports

Thank you.
Can I take this point to say.If anyone feels that there is something missing from this thread to let me know.

[spik]

11th October was the day that the club put out it's yearbook. Interesting read thus far on the past but wish they could put out something like this separate from this yearbook.

I thought I'd  send a pic for the club (but no reply/thanks etc...) that shows the first shirt the team wore in that domestic season '70' years ago.Glad they seem to know this now and that it's not a stripy version. 
It's on the opening Introduction of this thread.

The Stewart Roberts Ice Hockey ANNUAL is also out again now for statistic buffs.As well as the International Ice Hockey Federations 'Annual report' if anyone is bothered, found on their own websites of course.

LESS I have made an error.

Anyone see a mistake here?

All sorted now on the part of the Elite website. Seems I was right and the official site has now been corrected.

[spik]

New look ELITE website try it out....I like it.

www.eliteleague.co.uk/club-ticket-information/

[spik]

I am very pleased to see that the club HAVE put out the correct shirt which was the first ever shirt worn in domestic play.This is rather than any other that was worn in the majority of early seasons with Black and White stripes.
Even I originally displayed one that was from my collection (shown in my book 'Factual Scrapbook') but was of the 1947/8 season.


Goodness knows what was worn in 1939 when we played 3 challenge games before war stopped a seasons campaign.
