Euro Hockey Tour
Encyclopedia : E : EU : EUR : Euro Hockey Tour
The Euro Hockey Tour consists of four tournaments: Ceska Pojistovna Cup in Czech Republic, Karjala Tournament in Finland, Rosno Cup in Russia and LG Hockey Games in Sweden. After the tournaments the EHT playoffs are played where the first and second placed teams play the EHT Gold Medal Game and the third and fourth placed teams play the Bronze Medal Game. The winner of the Gold Medal game counts as the unofficial European Champion.
Most teams use the competition as preparation for the World Championships or Olympics, allowing less experienced players to collect valuable ice time in their national colours.
