European Trophy (previously named Nordic Trophy between 2006 and 2009) was an annually held ice hockey tournament, traditionally composed of teams from the higher-level ice hockey leagues in countries across Europe. It was generally considered to be a pre-season tournament, although some games were played mid-season. With 32 participating teams from seven different countries in 2013, the European Trophy was at the time the biggest active ice hockey tournament in Europe. From the 2014–15 season, the European Trophy would be replaced by the Champions Hockey League, an IIHF-organized tournament.
