Icy Smith Cup
The Icy Smith Cup was a knockout tournament originally contested in Great Britain from 1966 to 1982.
The competition began in 1966, contested mostly by Northern League teams. In 1976, the Icy Smith Cup became the national British Championship and saw teams from all leagues participate.
Retroactively, the tournament's played between 1966 and 1975 were recognized as serving as the British Championship during that time period.
The Icy Smith Cup was last awarded to the British Championship winner in 1981. It later became a minor in-season competition, which the Nottingham Panthers, Solihull Barons, and Whitley Bay Warriors are recorded to have participated in during the 1989-90 season. Known scores from this tournament: Jan 8. Whitley 6 - Nottingham 5 @ Whitley. Jan 13. Nottingham 6 - Whitley 4 @ Nottingham. Jan 21. Nottingham 6 - Solihull 4 @ Solihull. Mar 27. Nottingham 10 - Solihull 6 @ Nottingham.
