The Champions Hockey League 2010-2011 is planned to include 16 teams with four teams in four groups. The group winners advance to the home-and-away semi-finals. The final will be played home and away too.In the future, national champions from other than Europe’s Top-7 leagues will have the chance to qualify for the Champions Hockey League, possibly through the Continental Cup. The Continental Cup includes teams from 19 other countries, below the Top-7 leagues.
