New CHL competition format for 2023/24

 

image.jpeg

 

The 2023/24 edition of the Champions Hockey League will go ahead with a new format featuring 24 participating teams.

 

The adapted structure will allow the CHL to run a balanced, attractive and entertaining competition.

 

Quote

What are the main benefits?

 

  • More opportunities for fans to see Europe’s top teams playing each other earlier in the competition.
     
  • Each and every game counts: teams will battle for every single point to help them rise the ranks of the overall standings right up to the very last Game Day – either to make it to the Playoffs or to get into a better position for the knock-out bracket.
     
  • Clubs and players will get the opportunity to prove themselves against a wider range of top-level opponents.

 

 

At the extraordinary General Assembly held on Friday, 4 November in Zug, Switzerland, the shareholders of the Champions Hockey League voted in favour of introducing a new competition format starting with the upcoming 2023/24 season.

 

While it was already decided two years prior that the pan-European competition shall become more exclusive by reducing the number of participating teams to 24 (currently 32), the detailed configuration of the format was still subject to drafting.

 

With scientific help of experts in competition design, the CHL has now presented an adapted format that focuses on the competitive balance and maximises the attractiveness and entertainment of Europe’s elite club ice hockey competition.

 

What changes will the 2023/24 edition bring?

 

The basic structure of a Regular Season (formerly referred to as the Group Stage) followed by the Playoffs has proven its worth for the CHL and will remain.

 

However, the configuration of the Regular Season will undergo two fundamental changes:

 

  • Teams play six different opponents in the Regular Season instead of only three (teams play each other just once).
  • Teams are ranked in overall standings from 1 to 24 instead of groups.
     

Consequently, the 16 best-ranked teams will advance to the Playoffs.

 

The Playoff format remains unchanged.

 

How will the Regular Season fixtures be drawn?

 

To draw the fixtures for the Regular Season, teams will be allocated into four pots featuring six teams each – similar to the structure currently in place.

 

The seeding is dependent on the teams’ achievements in their national leagues and the respective league’s standing in the CHL League Ranking.

 

Each team is then drawn against six opponents by drawing two opponents from each of the other three pots.

 

Teams will play one team per pot at home and the other one away.

 

The result of each game will combine to make up the overall standings (1st to 24th).

 

The points format currently in place will remain unchanged, meaning three points are awarded for a win, should a game go to overtime or a shootout, teams share the points 2-1.

 

How will the Playoffs work?

 

Just like in the current format, the Playoffs start with the Round of 16 and all rounds will be played in a two-game, home-and-away, aggregate-scoring series except the Final.

 

However, the Playoff Draw is no longer required as teams will face each other based on the overall standings (1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th etc.). 

 

How are the places allocated?

 

The six Shareholder Leagues will take 18 places in the new format, equally split to three representatives each.

 

Teams will qualify in their domestic leagues on sporting merits according to the following criteria:

 

1. National Champions
2. Regular Season Winners
3. Regular Season Runners-Up
4. Regular Season Third-Placed

 

The reigning CHL Champions are automatically qualified for the next CHL season, which grants an extra qualification place to their league.

 

The minimum of participating countries is set at 11 and therefore five Wild Card teams from Challenger Leagues will be part of the CHL.

 

The allocation of Wild Cards is subject to Board approval for each season.

    • Italian governmanet issued a statement:   The Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, and the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi have issued this joint note:   The Italian Government expresses its absolute opposition to the decision of the Internazionale Paralympic Committee to admit to participating in the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympics for Russian athletes and four Belarusian athletes with the display of their national emblems, inno compreso.   The Italian government reiterates the dissent already expressed, together with other 33 nations and the European Commission, on the decision of full reinstatement of the Russian and Belarusian Paralympic Committees assumed by the General Assembly of the International Paralympic Committee last September 27, and renews its own full solidarity and its own unconditional support for Ukraine. Ask, inoltre, al Comitato Paralimpico Internazionale to reconsider this decision. The persistent violation of the truce and Olympic and Paralympic ideals by Russia, supported by Belarus, is incompatible with the participation of athletes in the Games, if they do not come as individual neutral athletes.   https://www.esteri.it/en/sala_stampa/archivionotizie/comunicati/2026/02/tajani-abodi-governo-contrario-decisione-comitato-paralimpico-internazionale-sulla-russia/
    • The Canadian who went down with Sighal also didn't advance. There was no advantage for Canada. The only decision was if Sighal would advance, and the official said no. No one advanced. Even if you think it was an unfair ruling, it didn't benefit Canada in any way.    Meanwhile, several Canadians have been penalized throughout the competition, just like every other country. One even got a yellow card. Dandjinou was on his way to a medal, but was bumped in the final and lost. Our women today were bumped by the Koreans and nothing was done. These things happen in short track. At no time did any decision benefit a Canadian, whether you agree with it or not. 
    • I think I'll go with 8 this time. Brazil did very well in all sports, except for the girl in Alpine Skiing who, from what I've read, is a DNF magnet. Even so, it's our first participation in Women's Alpine Skiing in years.   As for the organization, honestly, some things have disappointed me, the way they're handling unforeseen events...
    • The Italian federation has issued an official stance – I hope they finally take a closer look at this Hungarian clown. I just hope it's not like someone wrote here, where the former Canadian skater makes the decisions and that Hungarian just announces them.   https://www.fisg.it/short-track-milano-cortina-2026-presidente-gios-grande-delusione-e-amarezza-per-il-trattamento-del-giudice-nei-confronti-di-pietro-sighel/
    • We lost the gold to Korea, but if we were going to lose to anyone, it was them- the country that is the cradle of this sport, not the Netherlands, which only seriously entered the sport eight to last 8-10 years ago and created serial dominators, like in speed skating, track cycyling, etc. I simply can't like their model, where they create athletes for serial victories in 2/3 selected disciplines. 
    • https://worldcurling.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023-The-Rules-of-Curling.pdf p. 45 I think has what you're looking for.
    • By the way, those shot % by position are really interesting.  USA's only standout is their lead, at #1 at the moment, while skip, #2 and vice are 7th, 8th, and 9th respectively among their position peers.   seems USA would hardly have any wins at all without that lead performing so spectacularly.  Maybe that lead should be skip next time.  well, maybe not, I guess it depends on whether his weighted shots are as good as his draw shots.
