The '''Erhardt Conference''' was one of three conferences in the [[Elite Ice Hockey League]] ([[Elite Ice Hockey League|EIHL]]) and comprised four teams. Its counterparts were the [[Gardiner Conference]] and the newly formed, for the 2017-18 season, [[Patton Conference]]. It is named after the captain of the [[Great Britain men's national ice hockey team|British]] [[1936 Winter Olympics|1936 Winter Olympics gold medal winning team]] [[Carl Erhardt]] and was introduced for the [[2012–13 EIHL season]]. The Erhardt Conference Championship was played for over 24 regular season games, each team playing the other three teams eight times (four home and four away). The winner received the Erhardt Trophy and is seeded in the top three (the exact seed dependent on the overall League Championship final standings) for the end-of-season Elite League Play-Offs. These 24 games also made up the total of 56 regular season games which decided the overall League Champions of the [[Elite Ice Hockey League]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eliteleague.co.uk/the-elite-league-s12353 |title=ELITE Ice Hockey League ◊ Official Website Previous Winners | ELITE Ice Hockey League |accessdate=2012-08-12 |url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130420082633/http://www.eliteleague.co.uk/the-elite-league-s12353 |archivedate=2013-04-20 }}</ref>
