The Elite Ice Hockey League has confirmed that the 2018/19 schedule will be released on Monday 23rd July 2018.

The 11 EIHL teams will once again compete for the Elite League championship, Challenge Cup and PredictorBet Playoff trophy, whilst the Conference titles also remain up for grabs.

The winners of the 2018/19 Elite League championships will also receive the newly made Elite League trophy - which has been specially crafted by Thomas Lyte, whose previous work includes the FA Cup, The Webb Ellis Rugby World Cup and The Ryder Cup.

The new Elite League trophy will be officially unveiled later this week.
