Playoff Quarter Final details confirmed

The details of the Excel Hull Stingrays first ever appearance in the EIHL Playoffs have been revealed in a matchup which will see Sylvain Cloutier's side pit against former side and 09/10 EIHL Champions the Coventry Blaze.

Hull Arena will be the venue for the first leg of the Quarter Final next Saturday ( 5.30pm face-off) before the Rays travel to Coventry on Sunday night (6pm face-off), having hopefully claimed a lead in the first leg.

The Skydome based side own the best record against the Stingrays this year, as they dominated the season series between the two sides winning nine of the teams ten meetings, scoring 46 goals and conceding half that amount, on their way to their fourth title in their 10th anniversary season.

Elsewhere in the EIHL, runners up Belfast face the Newcastle Vipers, the 3rd placed Nottingham Panthers play the Edinburgh Capitals and the Cardiff Devils ice against the Sheffield Steelers.
