Report

The Ice Hockey Superleague was the top level Ice Hockey League in Britain and Ireland prior to the formation of the Elite Ice Hockey League in 2003.

The Belfast Giants were created in 2000 as part of the peace process with aid of American money and played in the 5000-seat Oddyssey Arena.

In their first season they finished sixth, but failed to qualify out of their playoff group. In 2001-02 they won the League on 70 Points, 21 ahead of their nearest challengers Ayr Scottish Eagles, but again failed to qualify out of the Playoff Group. They finished second in the League in 2002-03, one point behind Sheffield Steelers, but won the Playoff Group before going on to win the Final 5-3 against the London Knights.
