Champions Hockey League Game Days tend to go by FAST and it can be hard to catch everything that goes on in the pan-European competition - both on and off the ice.
We get it, and we want to help you keep on top of everything CHL so we've compiled a few of our favourite moments from the last week. Coming up today...
... a full plane of Třinec fans, Belfast at home, first qualifiers - a week of firsts in the CHL!
CHL Back In Northern Ireland!
After three tough games on the road, EIHL side the Belfast Giants made their 2023/24 home debut against a tough HC Bolzano side on Game Day 4. Both sides entered the game with 0 points and 0 wins, but the Giants weren't prepared to continue that series and hit the ground running, scoring four unanswered goals to pick up their first win of the season in front of their amazing home fans!

CHL Predictor after GD4!
Heard about the CHL Predictor? If not, then this fan game is all about predicting the scores of CHL games, it's as simple as that. You collect points for an overall ranking and for a club ranking for different criteria, you predict correctly. Can I still get in on the action when the games return in October you ask? Of course!
CHL Content Team in Pardubice
Our official content team was in the Czech city of Pardubice for Dynamo Pardubice's Game Day 3 clash with the Stavanger Oilers. The home team took a huge 5-1 win over the Norwegian challengers in front of an absolutely buzzing Enteria Arena and we were along for every second of the action - just take a look at our highlight reel!
First Playoffs Qualifiers!
Ilves Tampere and the Växjö Lakers sit atop of the Regular Season Standings with 11 points each. Both clubs are unbeaten so far this season, having won three times in regulation and once in a shootout. That means both are certain to make the upcoming CHL Playoffs!
A plane full of Třinec fans!
Last but not least is Czech side Oceláři Třinec who travelled for their two away games in Finland together with their fans, meaning team staff, players, management and the club's faithful supporters all travelled together by plane - what an experience!
