IIHF European Champions Cup 3663961 220396670 2008-06-19T17:39:27Z 81.19.34.74 /* 2008 results */ {{dablink|This page is for the [[hockey]] event. For the [[Athletics (track and field)|Athletics]] event see [[European Cup (athletics)]].}} [[Image:EuropeanChampionsCupLogo.png|right]] The '''IIHF European Champions Cup''' (ECC) was an annual event organized by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]], and takes place during a long-weekend in early January. The winner is considered the official club champion of Europe by the IIHF. The Champions Cup was first played in 2005, as a replacement for the defunct [[European Cup (ice hockey)|European Cup]] and the suspended [[European Hockey League]]. Beginning in the 2008-09 season, it will be replaced by the [[Champions Hockey League]], which will be the new official European club championship event. ==European Cup== The '''European Cup''', also known as the '''Europa Cup''', was a European [[ice hockey]] club competition for champions of national leagues which was contested between 1965 and 1997, governed by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF). ===History=== Inspired by the success of [[Association football|football's]] European Cup (now [[UEFA Champions League]]), the IIHF decided to start the competition in [[1965]] during a meeting in [[Tampere, Finland]]. The idea was brought up by a [[Germany|German]], Dr. Sabetzki, and approved by a majority of the delegates. However, the tournament was often plagued with problems. Teams from different countries were generally of wildly differing standards due to different levels of development in ice hockey across Europe, resulting in many uncompetitive, one-sided games. Significant organisational difficulties were also posed by the refusal of some [[Soviet Union]] teams to play away games in certain places. This resulted in no final being held some years, and more than one final being held in others. The competition was discontinued after 1997. In its place, the [[European Hockey League]] and the [[Continental Cup]], and later the IIHF European Champions Cup, were started. ===Format=== Teams were seeded and drawn into groups of four teams, with the winners of each group progressing to the next round, where they were drawn into groups again. Each round was played over a long weekend (Friday to Sunday) in a single venue, until one final group was left, the winner of which would be considered champions. After the European Cup was discontinued, the [[Continental Cup]] would adopt this format. ===Winners=== ====Knockout, 1966-1979==== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- !width=5%|Season

It was established in 1996 by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF) and commercial partner CWL Telesport and first contested in 1996-1997. In 1996-1997, twenty teams played in five divisions. After home and away inter-division matches, the division winners plus the three best second-placed teams went into the quarter-finals. The first winners were [[Finland|Finnish]] side [[TPS (ice hockey)|TPS]], who beat [[Russia]]n [[HC Dynamo Moscow]] 5-2. In the 1997-1998 season, 24 teams competed in six divisions. The division winners and the two best second-placed teams progressed to the quarter-finals. The league was won by [[Austria]]n side [[VEU Feldkirch]], who beat Russian side Dynamo Moscow 5-3. In 1998-1999, 24 teams competed in six divisions. The top two in each division went into playoff matches. The winners of these six playoffs went into the semi-final round, which was played in two leagues. The winners of these two leagues played the final. For the third year in a row, Dynamo Moscow lost the final, this time to fellow-Russians [[Metallurg Magnitogorsk]]. In 1999-2000, 16 teams competed in four divisions. The two best clubs of each divisions advanced to the semi-final round, which was played as home and away games. The four winners of the semi-finals qualified for the ''EHL Top Four Final''. In that final, Metallurg Magnitogorsk defended its title, this time beating [[Czech Republic|Czech]] side Sparta Prague 2-0. Following consultation with its commercial partner, now ''CWL Holding AG'', the IIHF decided to suspend the running of the European Hockey League for the 2000-2001 season. Despite financial investment and the improved quality of the contest, attention from the media, spectators and TV networks in Europe was not seen as satisfactory. In order to optimise exposure of the league in Europe, the IIHF decided to consult with European broadcasters starting from the 2001-2002 season. An international club competition, in the tradition of the previous European Cup, was staged by the IIHF for the 2000-2001 season, but the European Hockey League did not restart. ===European Hockey League Finals=== {| class="wikitable" |- !
