The Gardiner Conference is one of three conferences in the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) and comprises Three teams. Its counterparts are the Erhardt Conference and the newly formed, for the 2017-18 season, Patton Conference. It is named after former Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Charlie Gardiner and was introduced for the 2012–13 EIHL season. The Gardiner Conference Championship is played for over 24 regular season games, each team playing the other two teams eight times (four home and four away). The winner receives the Gardiner Trophy and is seeded in the top three (the exact seed dependent on the overall League Championship final standings) for the end-of-season Elite League Play-Offs. These 24 games also make up the total of 56 regular season games which decide the overall League Champions of the Elite Ice Hockey League.[1]
