Conference hockey in the Elite League
EIHL | Sunday 28 December 2008 by Richard BlayneySo with the league recently announcing the all-star game being in the format of a North vs South format with the league split into two conferences it has got me wondering, mainly for fun, how the league would look if it adopted the conference format formally. What would the standings look like, who would be the 5th place team in each conference to miss the playoffs and who is the strongest conference? You know a weighted league schedule — playing teams in your own conference more than those in the others — wouldn’t be such a bad thing and when you see the conferences, as a Giants fan, you wouldn’t be to upset at seeing the 4 other teams that make up their conference.
