Champions Hockey League

Got 8/16 right, 50%. Meaning you were as accurate as a completely randomly generated list would have been. Nice insight.

That prediction included 0/5 Swedish teams going through and it ended up being 5/5. Classic Eye of Ra.

And 2/2 Polish teams on the rise going through which naturally ended up being 0/2. Classic Eye of Ra indeed.

I don't follow this one but is it fair to assume the Czech teams got demolished?

 

[Lartsaman]

Looks like an all-Sweden top four.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

The first 4 games of the season were available on Youtube. Why aren't the remaining games available?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Norwegian league on the rise, I guess.

It is. But not as much as the polish league is.

Didn't know where to put this but found it interesting...



Shocking to me that the Czech league is so focused on D given our teams get scored on a lot.lol

Hmm. What's the methology here? Just because someone makes a graph, doesn't necessarily mean it's true.

Sparta and Trinec underachieve in all competitions this year, considering their rosters. Hradec Kralove, meanwhile, won a very tough group so it has to do less with being Czech and more with being in form or out of it.

Similar case with DEL teams where actual champions Eisbaren were the only team to drop out in the group stage.

Yeah, does seem pretty random. What "build-up hockey" could even mean?

The first 4 games of the season were available on Youtube. Why aren't the remaining games available?

At least in my country, all the games are still available on YT but they must have sold the broadcasting rights to someone wherever you live.

"Build-up hockey" is when both teams start with only raw materials, and they need to build their own nets, sticks, pucks etc.

Do they build the arena too?

 

[Jukurit]

Do they build the arena too?

No. That's too advanced. Can only play on natural ice.

Considering MHL is leading in the category I wouldn't be surprised if that's correct

I'm getting the "not available in your region" trash from the feed posted on the CHL site.

Yes, it means the rights are sold.

idk if you're from Canada or the US.

Canada it's either on TSN/TSN GO, or youtube/CHL site.

USA it's on one of NHL Network(for QF onwards), Fanseat(Group stage, & round of 16), or youtube/CHL site.

New CHL Competition Format for 2023/24 revealed

I will be interested to see how the Norway, Denmark, Great Britain, France, Poland, Slovakia leagues will be allocated to the 5 wild card spots. Maybe time to start merging leagues.

You really had to read the text to have that table at the top start making sense. The “Czech Republic 1” ranked so low threw me off at first.

Basically, the table’s providing an example of how the CHL playoffs will be seeded in the future, by the points earned in the group stage rather than whether a club placed 1st or 2nd in said group. And in that example they imagined the CHL champs and top teams from top leagues faring the best, with the exception of the Czech champs.

I don’t know if this is better or not. Supposed to give more games between good teams, and more games between different teams. Maybe it’s better.

I kind of don’t like that fewer clubs from lower tier leagues will make the CHL. Might steal some incentive for them to try and improve their on-ice product, but I don’t know how much it’ll matter.

Merge ICE and the Slovakian league and the problem would be solved. I think it would make ICE closer to the other 5 main leagues in quality.
It would leave a spot open for the champions of the Norway, Denmark, Great Britain, France, Poland leagues.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Its a champions hockey league-night!

 

[Eye of Ra]

you all already know my predications

 

[SoundAndFury]

Yep, 5 minutes in 2/3 Swedish teams lead already. Business as usual on all accounts.

 

[vorky]

Round of 16 (first leg) average attendance - 2 336
Swedish clubs - 2 043

 

[Eye of Ra]

Färjestad as usual is doing bad in CHL

Round of 16 (first leg) average attendance - 2 336
Swedish clubs - 2 043
