Patton Conference
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Patton Conference was one of three conferences in the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) and comprised four teams. Its counterparts are the Erhardt Conference and the Gardiner Conference. It is named after IIHF and British Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Major Bethune Minet “Peter” Patton and was introduced for the 2017–18 EIHL season. The Patton Conference Championship is played for over 24 regular season games, each team playing the other three teams eight times (four home and four away). The winner receives the Patton 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 make up the total of 56 regular season games which decide the overall League Champions of the Elite Ice Hockey League.[1]
