In the BIHA Championship the leading teams from the southern and northern leagues would play off to determine who met in the final and compete for the Patton Cup. In the final London Lions beat Glasgow 2–1 with Blaine Sexton, who had founded the London Lions in 1924, and Bushell scoring for London and Macdonald scoring for Glasgow.[2]

The Patton cup was named after Major Peter Patton a past president of the British Ice Hockey Association.[3] Patton had founded 'Princes' in December 1896, the first ice hockey club in Great Britain. In the 1913/14 season he also founded the British Ice Hockey Association (BIHA). The 1929/1930 season was the only time Scottish teams were linked with the Patton Cup.[4]

Southern League

The southern league was competed for by five teams playing home and away. Oxford University and Cambridge University only played each other once in the annual varsity match which awarded double league points.
