Get up close to all the fast-paced action of elite ice hockey when the 2011 Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL) Finals take centre stage at Medibank Icehouse from 3 - 4 September.

Australia's top four ice hockey teams will battle it out for the Goodall Cup - one of the oldest trophies in the world of ice hockey (having first been contested in 1909). Check out all of the thrills and spills at the two Semi-Finals on Saturday 3 September then watch the top two teams fight it out for glory at the Grand Final on Sunday 4 September.

In 2010, the Goodall Cup was won by Melbourne Ice - it was the first time the home team had triumphed in the championship and after sitting in first place on the ladder for much of the 2011 season they are well on their way to securing back to back victories.

Last year's finalists, the Newcastle Northstars are the AIHL's most successful team. They are currently sitting in second position and are in
strong contention for the title. The Sydney Ice Dogs and Adelaide Adrenaline currently make up the top four however the Gold Coast Blue Tongues and Melbourne's second team, the Mustangs, are lapping at their heels. It
promises to be an exciting race to the finals!
