Belfast EIHL Champs E1563834294263, British Ice Hockey

The full fixture list for 2019/20 has been released by the Elite League.

The ten teams will meet through the season in 334 games across all competitions as the race for domestic glory gets set to begin again at the end of August.

Dundee Stars will play Glasgow Clan while Sheffield Steelers and Nottingham Panthers both kick off with a double header of Challenge Cup contest.

League champions Belfast Giants begin the defence of their crown when they go to Manchester Storm on Sunday 15th September, a day after they begin their Challenge Cup campaign against the Clan at home.

In the league, teams will play each other three times at home, and three times away, for a total of 54 regular season games each, with the top eight teams will qualify for the playoffs in April.

And it’s been another busy summer as the teams prepare for the new season, with the release of the fixtures the latest step in bringing the on-ice action a little bit closer.

“Everyone has been working very hard behind the scenes over the summer so far to make sure we’re ready to go for the new season,” said Elite League Chairman Tony Smith. 

“We saw a very tight race for the league title and playoff places last season, and I’m sure the 2019/20 campaign will be just as exciting for our fans, who can now begin planning their home games and away trips.”
