Each team play each other four times, twice at home and twice away with each team playing a total of 28 games a season which runs from April through to August each year. At the completion of the normal season the top four teams enter the AIHL Finals Weekend where the semi final is held with the grand final the following day. The winner of the Grand Final is awarded the Goodall Cup. There is also an All-Star Weekend held annually in June featuring Team North (CBR Brave, Newcastle Northstars, Sydney Bears and Sydney Ice Dogs) take on Team South (Adelaide Adrenaline, Melbourne Ice, Melbourne Mustangs and Perth Thunder) in a series of skills events and eventually competing in a “friendly” game at the end of the weekend. Ice hockey in Australia is fast becoming a household name with over 4700 registered players (IIHF 2020) and connections with leagues over the world including the National Hockey League (NHL) in Canada and USA, the sports reach doesn’t stop at our border. COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE ABOUT AIHL BRISBANE While most major cities within Australia field an AIHL team, the state of Queensland has not had a competitive team since 2012.
