Champions have been crowned in [[Great Britain|British ice hockey]] since 1898. Many of the English Club Championships were awarded to the team that had the best results in games versus other squads at the end of the season. Some years a final match was arranged to crown the champion. If no challenger appeared, the winner from the previous season would retain the championship "unchallengd".

Beginning with the first championship in 1898, the club champion was awarded the '''Admiral Maxse Challenge Cup''' (also referred to as the '''Prince's Cup'''), donated by [[Princes Ice Hockey Club]] owner, Admiral Maxse.

In 1903, the [[English Ice Hockey League]] - the first organized hockey league in all of Europe - was founded. It was composed of five teams and ran for one season, 1903-04, with the [[London Canadians]] winning the sole league title.

After the demise of the English League, champions were once again awarded via the "top club team" method. In 1911, a one-off [[1910-11 in British ice hockey|"British Championship"]] was contested between [[Princes Ice Hockey Club]] and the [[Oxford Canadians]]. It was won by Oxford 11-2.
