Scottish Ice Hockey’s Junior Scottish Cup Weekend heads to Dundee Ice Arena on Saturday 25 April and Sunday 26 April, bringing together the top teams from across the U12, U14, U16 and U19 age groups for a full weekend of knockout hockey. Across the two days, the event will feature 16 teams competing for four Scottish Cup titles.
The format sees each age group play its two semi-finals on Saturday, with the winners returning on Sunday to contest the final. Bringing all four age groups together across one weekend creates a full-event atmosphere and gives players, families and supporters the chance to enjoy Scottish Cup action across the programme.
Seeding for each age group is based on final league standings, with semi-finals set as Seed 1 v Seed 4 and Seed 2 v Seed 3. Where league fixtures have not been completed in time, an average points-per-game method will be used to finalise standings for Scottish Cup seeding.
