With yet another captivating regular season coming to a close, attention turns to who will claim playoff glory in the Planet Ice NIHL National Division.

League champions and NIHL National Cup winners Leeds Knights start their playoff campaign with a double-header against Telford Tigers, who took until the final weekend of the season to secure their spot in the top eight.

The pair are joined in Group A by Hull Seahawks and defending playoff champions Peterborough Phantoms, who finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Hull will be at home for the first game of their double-header before visiting Cambridgeshire on Sunday evening.

In Group B, MK Lightning take on Romford Raiders as they look to put the disappointment of narrowly missing out on the league title behind them.

Milton Keynes boast a strong record against the Raiders, having won five of their six league meetings during the regular season. On all three occasions at home, Lightning were comprehensive winners.

Group B’s other double-header sees Swindon Wildcats and Sheffield Steeldogs go head-to-head.

The Wildcats reached last season’s playoff semi-finals and would dearly love to go one better this time around, against a Sheffield side hoping for an improvement in performances after losing five of their final six regular season games, winning the other in overtime.

A full list of fixtures for each group can be found here.
