Answer» What is Elite Ice Hockey League mean? The Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL), sometimes referred to as the British Elite League or, for sponsorship reasons, the Premier Sports Elite League, is an ice hockey league in the United Kingdom. Formed in 2003 following the demise of the Ice Hockey Superleague, it is the highest level of ice hockey competition in the United Kingdom. The league currently consists of ten teams, with representation from all four nations of the United Kingdom – the only league in any sport to do so. In fourteen completed seasons the league championship has been won by five different teams. The day-to-day operation of the league is overseen by chairman Tony Smith, director of hockey Andy French, and a board of directors. Disciplinary matters are handled by director of discipline and former referee Simon Kirkham. The level below the Elite League is the National Ice Hockey League. A system of promotion and relegation is not operated by the Elite League; teams enter the league on the basis of a decision by the board of directors. reference nan |
