The 1928 English Club Championship was awarded to United Services. It was the first title in the club's history. They won the championship as the best club team at the end of the season.
According to the Glimpses of English Ice Hockey History section of Peter Patton's Ice Hockey (1936) book, it was a "very busy hockey season at the Ice Club, where numerous inter-club matches were played."[1] The Westminster Ice Club, opened in late 1926, was home to club champions' United Services.
On November 15, 1927, Cambridge and United Services played a "scratch game" at Westminster. Matches were also played at the Manchester Ice Palace this year. Manchester defeated Princes Ice Hockey Club 3-1, the Cambridge University Eskimos 6-0, and the London Lions.[2]
There was a game between United Services and the London Canadians on November 22, 1927, won 5-2 by the Canadians.[3] A British Ice Hockey Association team beat Oxford University 7-1 at the Ice Club on December 13.[4] A combined team of Ice Clubs defeated United Services 5-4 at the Westminster Ice Club on December 20.[5] On February 8, 1928, the London Canadians triumphed over Cambridge University 4-1 in a game at the Ice Club in London.[6]
1928 was the first year England crowned a club champion since before World War I (1914).[7]
