England Ice Hockey, the NIHL management group and the NIHL Division 1/2 owners are pleased to announce the locations of the NIHL Division 1 & 2 play-off weekends.

This season, we are planning to hold the play-off finals weekend in two amazing locations. 

We are going to combine the two leagues in each of the regions into one big play-off weekend.  What this means is that the fans of NIHL Divisions 1/2 will play there respective play-off semi-finals and final in the same venue. 

The weekend will take place on 6/7 April.

In the North, we will be playing the play-off finals at iceSheffield, and in the South we are going to be using Alexandra Palace.

The format of the weekend will be as follows:

Saturday –

• Game 1 – NIHL Division 2 – semi-final 1
• Game 2 – NIHL Division 1 – semi-final 1
• Game 3 – NIHL Division 2 – semi-final 2
• Game 4 – NIHL Division 1 – semi-final 2

Sunday –

• Game 5 – NIHL Division 2 – Grand Final
• Game 6 – NIHL Division 1 – Grand Final

This means supporters will get to see six games of hockey for one great price.

League general manager Haydn Hunter said: “We are looking forward to getting best of the best in each region into one venue, for two big celebrations of hockey.”

Game timings and ticket prices will be released in due course.
