Melbourne Ice again!!
Reigning champion confirmed title defeating Newcastle North Stars in AIHL final
In front of a packed and vocal home crowd in The Icehouse, Melbourne Ice defeated 3-2 rival Newcastle North Stars keeping AIHL title in Melbourne. As in last year final versus Adelaide, forward Joey Hughes was decisive in Ice victory and was awarded as playoffs MVP (3 goals and 3 assists in playoffs weekend) after the game. North Stars missed the chance to grab its 5th title, honouring coach Don Champagne, at his last game before to quit coaching career.
North Stars top scorer Peter Cartwright, another North Stars already announced his retirement, opened the score at 06:44, but Melbourne equalized already in the first period with Canadian Matthew Armstrong, before to go ahead with goals by Joey Hughes and captain Liam Webster. A late powerplay goal by American Justin Chwedoruk wasn't enough to give Newcastle new hope
AIHL will return next season with a new team from Perth and the newly created Trans-Tasman Champions League, a series played between Australian and New Zealand champions

Botany Swarm champion again
The 2011 New Zealand championship was won by the Botany Swarm, who defeated the Southern Stampede 5-3 in the final.
The Botany Swarm won the regular season of the New Zealand Ice Hockey League (NZIHL) with 12 wins in 16 games. In the final, which was just a single game, the Swarm faced the Southern Stampede, who finished the league on 33 points, the same as the third-place Canterbury Red Devils, but with a better goal difference. The Dunedin Thunder and West Auckland Admirals were far from the final.
Thanks to the better placement in the regular season, Botany played the final game on home ice. The game was a close story. It was tied at 1 after two periods and the Stampede even took the lead when their captain Simon Glass scored early in the third period. But the Swarm’s Estonian import Alex Polozov tied the game with 14 minutes to go and then the Swarm ran off to a 5-3 win.
This was the Swarm’s fourth championship. They were also successful in 2007, 2008 and 2010.

АВСТРАЛИЯ: AIHL

The AIHL and the Gold Coast Blue Tongues have today agreed to suspend the Gold Coast Blue Tongues’ licence to compete in the AIHL for the 2013 season. This means that the AIHL will revert to an 8 team competition for 2013.

The decision to suspend the Blue Tongues only happened because they have not been able to secure access to a suitable home venue for 2013. The club had explored a range of options, including constructing a temporary rink, but unfortunately none of these options has proved feasible.

Confirming the decision, the League’s Deputy Commissioner Ben Kiely said, “This is a sad day for hockey in Queensland. However, it’s important to remember that this is only a temporary setback. The Blue Tongues remain members of the League, and subject to finding a suitable rink, we expect them back — better than ever — in 2014.”

“The AIHL is excited by the plans recently announced by the Blue Tongues’ management for a permanent ice sports facility on the Gold Coast. We look forward to working with Dave Emblem and his team to try and make this a reality” Kiely said.

Until today’s final decision, the League had been focused on maintaining a 9 team competition, and was keen for the Blue Tongues to explore all avenues, provided they met the League’s minimum facility standards. However, given the ongoing uncertainties, the League has prudently been preparing both an 8 team schedule and a 9 team schedule for some months. As a final decision has now been made about the Blue Tongues’ participation, the AIHL expects to announce the 2013 schedule in the coming weeks (this will include details of the structure of the revised competition).
