Tournaments

The Easton Cup is an annual competition held in Dunedin every Easter.

The Easton Cup features divisions for peewees, midgets, juniors, senior non-checking and premier grades. Although some grades need to be combined due to lack of ice time/numbers.

For information about entering a team, please contact the DIHA secretary.

Cadbury Cup

The Cadbury Cup is an annual demonstration ice hockey event held in Dunedin during Cadbury week. Dunedin will be challenged for the 2007 Cadbury Cup by Christchurch.

Erewhon Cup

The Erewhon Cup is an annual competition which is held in Tekapo each year (or Naseby if there is no ice in Tekapo). The event has peculiar rules in that only mid-ice checking is allowed during the elimination rounds, but full-contact is allowed during the semi-finals and finals. Teams are only allowed 10 players plus one goalie. Only teams from clubs within the Southern Ice Hockey League (SIHL) are allowed to enter.

The Erewhon Cup was first held in 1937 at Opawa, near Albury in South Canterbury when Wyndham Barker donated the trophy and is the oldest ice hockey competition in New Zealand.
