Belfast will host the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Continental Cup Super Final in the New Year, the club has confirmed.

The IIHF announced their decision on Wednesday, with the Giants winning the rights over Arlan Kokshetau of Kazakhstan.

The finals will be played at the SSE Arena on Friday 11th to Sunday 13th January.

This will be the first occasion that an Elite League side has hosted the Super Final as Adam Keefe will lead his side on home ice against three of Europe’s finest sides – Poland’s GKS Katowice, Arlan Kokshetau of Kazakstan and Belarus’ HK Gomel.
