The '''English Premier Ice Hockey League''' ('''EPIHL''') is a developmental ice hockey league of 10 teams, all of which are based in [[England]]. Headquartered in Blackpool, the EPIHL is secondary professional ice hockey league in [[Great Britain]] (after the [[Elite Ice Hockey League]]).


The league was founded in 1998, where it initially served as the effective 3rd tier of the game, offering a level of play above the import free English leagues, but below the 8 import [[British National League (1996–2005)|British National League]] (BNL). Since 2005, when the BNL disbanded, the EPIHL has functioned as the second tier; in fact, many previous BNL teams now play in the EPIHL.
The '''English Premier Ice Hockey League''' ('''EPIHL''') was an [[ice hockey]] league of 10 teams, all of which were based in [[England]]. Headquartered in Blackpool, the EPIHL was one of two professional ice hockey leagues in the [[United Kingdom]] (the other being the [[Elite Ice Hockey League]]). A total of 27 teams played in the league at one time or another. [[Swindon Wildcats]] were the only team to have consistently featured in the EPIHL since its inaugural season in 1997-98. In 2017, the league was disbanded, with its teams either joining the top-tier [[Elite Ice Hockey League]] or the second-tier [[National Ice Hockey League]].


==History==
The league was founded in 1997, under the banner of "national division", as part of the [[English National Ice Hockey League]] in order to serve former members of the [[British National League (1996–2005)|British National League]] who couldn't afford to remain in the latter as a result of increased operating costs; but who were capable of a level of play above the import-free English leagues that made up the rest of the ENIHL. During the 1997-98 season the teams that constituted this division played dual schedules; a series of games solely amongst their own division, and another amongst all the teams that were playing under the ENIHL at that time. [[Coventry Blaze|Solihull Blaze]] won the league and play-off trophies of both formats during this inaugural season. At the start of the 1998-99 season the divisions, whilst still both under the ENIHL umbrella, performed in their own separate competitions; and the national division adopted the name "premier division", and later on became known as the "premier league". By the end of the season the league had established itselfhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_Ice_Hockey_League_2016/17 outside of the ENIHL as the "English Premier Ice Hockey League". In 2005 the BNL disbanded; leaving the EPIHL to take its place as the second tier of the national game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/80.html|title=English Premier League history and statistics at hockeydb.com|author=|date=|publisher=}}</ref>
In 2017, the league was dissolved. The Milton Keynes Lightning and Guildford Flames joined the Elite League, Manchester Phoenix folded, and the remaining seven teams became part of the [[National Ice Hockey League]].

Previously, if a game was tied it would end a draw, but in the 2008-09 season, the rule was changed to; if a game is tied after regulation time, overtime ensues. Overtime is a five-minute, four-player on four-player sudden-death period, in which the first team to score a goal wins the game. If the game is still tied at the end of overtime, the game enters a shootout. Five players for each team in turn take a penalty shot. The team with the most goals at the end of the five-round shootout wins the game. If the game is still tied after the five shootout rounds, the shootout continues but becomes sudden death. Whichever team ultimately wins the shootout is awarded a goal in the game score and thus awarded two points in the standings. The losing team in overtime or shootout is awarded only one.

==Rules==
While the English Premier Ice Hockey League follows the rules of ice hockey that are used in international games organised by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF) such as the [[Olympic Games|Olympics]], the league does however operate under a number of restrictions, allowing it to classify itself as a 'developmental league'.
The main restriction placed on the member clubs is a limit of 4 non EIHA trained, EU passport holding 'import' players dressed per game. Further to this, only 3 of these players may be on the ice simultaneously, with certain exceptions.<ref>{{cite web|title=EIHA Player Eligibility Rules|url=http://www.eiha.co.uk/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=WKJSsNSIvow%3d&tabid=113}}</ref> The EU passport requirement is not enforced by the EPIHL per se, rather it is a product of the fact that the UK Border Agency only grants work permits to non-EU players who wish to sign for teams in the [[Elite Ice Hockey League]]. Despite the 4 imports dressed rule, it is not uncommon for some teams to sign a 5th import as 'backup' in case of injuries to an 'active' import.
The league has no wage limitations, although it is generally accepted that due to the import restriction, wage bills are lower than teams in the EIHL. Despite the lower wages paid, the league still suffers from teams folding, or quitting the league due to financial problems.<ref>http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/ice-hockey/raiders-future-still-in-the-balance-25947.aspx</ref><ref>http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/ice-hockey/raiders-exit-from-premier-league-26014.aspx</ref>
==Season structure==
The English Premier Ice Hockey League season runs from the first week in September through late March. During the regular season, clubs play each other in a predefined schedule.
In the regular season, each team plays 54 games, 6 against each team. These are split evenly between Home and Away fixtures.
The EPIHL's regular season standings are based on a point system instead of winning percentages. Points are awarded for each game, where two points are awarded for a win, one point for losing in [[Overtime (hockey)|overtime]] or a shootout, and zero points for a loss in regulation. At the end of the regular season, the team that finishes with the most points is crowned the league champion.

The English Premier Ice Hockey League (EPIHL) was an ice hockey league of 10 teams, all of which were based in England. Headquartered in Blackpool, the EPIHL was one of two professional ice hockey leagues in the United Kingdom (the other being the Elite Ice Hockey League). A total of 27 teams played in the league at one time or another. Swindon Wildcats were the only team to have consistently featured in the EPIHL since its inaugural season in 1997-98. In 2017, the league was disbanded, with its teams either joining the top-tier Elite Ice Hockey League or the second-tier National Ice Hockey League.

History

The league was founded in 1997, under the banner of "national division", as part of the English National Ice Hockey League in order to serve former members of the British National League who couldn't afford to remain in the latter as a result of increased operating costs; but who were capable of a level of play above the import-free English leagues that made up the rest of the ENIHL. During the 1997-98 season the teams that constituted this division played dual schedules; a series of games solely amongst their own division, and another amongst all the teams that were playing under the ENIHL at that time. Solihull Blaze won the league and play-off trophies of both formats during this inaugural season. At the start of the 1998-99 season the divisions, whilst still both under the ENIHL umbrella, performed in their own separate competitions; and the national division adopted the name "premier division", and later on became known as the "premier league". By the end of the season the league had established itselfhttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_Ice_Hockey_League_2016/17 outside of the ENIHL as the "English Premier Ice Hockey League". In 2005 the BNL disbanded; leaving the EPIHL to take its place as the second tier of the national game.[3]

In 2017, the league was dissolved. The Milton Keynes Lightning and Guildford Flames joined the Elite League, Manchester Phoenix folded, and the remaining seven teams became part of the National Ice Hockey League.

Organizational structure

The league was ruled and governed by the English Ice Hockey Association.[4] The current chairman of the EPIHL is Ken Taggart. The team owners meet regularly to discuss league matters under the auspices of the league chairman, and take a democratic vote on all decisions.

Executives

  • Chairman: Ken Taggart
  • Chief Referee: Mohammad Ashraff
  • Administrator: Mary Faunt
  • Fixtures Secretary: Andy French
  • Teams Owners Rep: Harry Howton
  • Statistician: Malcolm Preen
  • Registrations: Liz Moralee

Game

Each English Premier Ice Hockey League regulation game is played between two teams and is 60 minutes long. The game is composed of three 20-minute periods with an intermission of 12½ minutes between periods. At the end of the 60-minute regulation time, the team with the most goals wins the game.

Previously, if a game was tied it would end a draw, but in the 2008-09 season, the rule was changed to; if a game is tied after regulation time, overtime ensues. Overtime is a five-minute, four-player on four-player sudden-death period, in which the first team to score a goal wins the game. If the game is still tied at the end of overtime, the game enters a shootout. Five players for each team in turn take a penalty shot. The team with the most goals at the end of the five-round shootout wins the game. If the game is still tied after the five shootout rounds, the shootout continues but becomes sudden death. Whichever team ultimately wins the shootout is awarded a goal in the game score and thus awarded two points in the standings. The losing team in overtime or shootout is awarded only one.
