The Round of 16 has come and gone and the line-up of teams still in the race for the European Trophy has dropped down to just eight of the very best. There's been so much going on, both on and off the ice, that we think we're all due a recap of the recent action in Europe's biggest club ice hockey competition. Coming up today...
... our Quarter-Finals match-ups, behind the scenes of the Round of 16 in Straubing, giving the goaltenders some love, reigning CHL Champs keep title defence alive and a look at who we've lost on the way.
Who's in the Top 8?
We started with 24 teams beginning their European journeys in early September and now only a third remain. Which is your favourite Quarter-Finals match-up?

You shall not pass
To give some love to the goaltenders throughout the very first Playoffs round, we've put together a compilation of some of their biggest saves. This one's worth a watch!
Reigning Champs in form
The reigning CHL Champions are well in the race to defend their title! After a Regular Season struggle which saw the European Club Champions finish 14th, Genève-Servette fired their way into the Top 8 with a huge 12-4 aggregate win over local rivals Lausanne HC. Can they go all the way again?
Eight teams in, eight out
Knockout games bring both joy and tears. We've loved having Lausanne HC, Tappara Tampere, Lahti Pelicans, Skellefteå AIK, Straubing Tigers, Sheffield Steelers, Oceláři Třinec and Fribourg-Gottéron in the 2024/25 season but their journeys are over for this season. Until we meet again!
With just one week to go until the Quarter-Finals start, be sure to keep an eye on the CHL website as we dive deeper into each match-up and much more!
