After a long summer, September is finally here - and that can only mean one thing: hockey is back!

There’s still one final week of pre-season action to come, but then all 10 teams will hit the ice for the start of the 2025/26 Elite Ice Hockey League campaign.

A total of 33 competitive fixtures are scheduled across September: 29 Challenge Cup clashes and the first four league games of the season.

The countdown is almost over… it’s nearly time for the race to silverware to begin!
