Clubs of the NIHL North and South regional divisions were in Milton Keynes and Sheffield last weekend for meetings to compile the 2024/25 fixture lists.

After agreeing the format of competitions at their section meetings last month, the clubs worked collaboratively to pull together the playing schedule, with puck drop set for the end of August this year.

NIHL general manager Haydn Hunter said: “These were the first in-person fixtures meetings for a while in these divisions, and I’d like to thank clubs for their support and working together to get the dates in their respective diaries.

“From our point of view, the meetings were a great success and something we’d certainly look to do again next summer.”

The meetings also confirmed the cup groups for each division, with qualifying games to be completed by Christmas. This will be followed by home and away semi-finals in January and the cup finals, also home and away over two legs, set for February 2025.

The full fixtures for the NIHL North and South will be published by England Ice Hockey and clubs at 6pm on Friday 19 July.
