Continental Cup Super-final to be held in Belfast for the first time
Giants win chance to host showpiece
Belfast is to host one of the biggest showpiece finals in European ice-hockey.
The Continental Cup Super-final will take place from January 11 to 13 at the SSE Arena.
The Belfast Giants won the rights over Arian Kokshetau of Kazakstan.
More than 15,000 fans packed into the SSE for the previous round of the competition.
It will be the first time an Elite League side has hosted the Super Final as Adam Keefe will lead his side on home ice against three of Europe's finest sides - Poland's GKS Katowice, Arlan Kokshetau of Kazakstan and Belarus' HK Gomel.
The Giants qualified for the 2018/19 IIHF Continental Cup by winning the 2017/18 Challenge Cup, defeating the Cardiff Devils 6-3 in the final on Sunday 4th March.
This is the Giants second-ever appearance in the European showpiece event after qualifying for the eight team version of the Super Final in the 2002/03 season.
That year, the Giants travelled to Milan, Italy and Lugano, Switzerland to face some of the best of European hockey, hosts HC Lugano, HC Davos and HC Slovan Bratislava.
