What’s happening this weekend?

It’s north versus south in the Elite League playoff quarter-finals, as Storm take on the Guildford Flames for a place in finals weekend. The home leg takes place this Saturday, 13^th April – doors open at 6pm for a 7pm face-off. We expect this game to be a third sell-out in a row so make sure you get your tickets now!

We need you to be loud and proud this weekend and cheer the team on to victory, setting us on the way to finals weekend for the first time.

What are the EIHL playoffs?

The Elite Ice Hockey League playoff title is the final trophy on offer for the 2023/24 season. The top eight finishers in the regular season qualify for the postseason. Belfast Giants are the defending champions – they beat Cardiff Devils 4-1 in last year’s final.

What’s the format?

The eight qualifying teams are seeded from 1 to 8 for the quarter-finals. As the fourth seed, Storm were drawn to play the team finishing fifth – Guildford Flames. The quarter-finals are played over two legs (home and away) with the winner having the highest aggregate score. If the scores are level after 120 minutes, teams will play five minutes of 3-on-3 overtime followed by a shootout. The four winning teams qualify for finals weekend.

In addition to our own quarter-final, league champions Sheffield Steelers will take on the Fife Flyers, Cardiff Devils play the Dundee Stars, and Belfast Giants match up against the Coventry Blaze.

Finals weekend takes place at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st April. Tickets are available to buy now.

The two semi-finals take place on the Saturday, with a third-place match starting proceedings on Sunday followed by the main event – the final!

The four qualifying teams will be reseeded based on league position, with the highest remaining seed playing the lowest remaining seed. It’s the UK’s festival of hockey and we’d love to see you there!
