A civic reception was held in Nottingham this evening to celebrate Nottingham Panthers' Continental Cup victory. They're the first side from the UK to win the trophy.

Panthers lifted the trophy after a clean sweep of victories at the four team Super Final in Ritten in Italy. Nottingham beat the hosts 4 - 1 in the last game to make history.

The Nottingham team was the lowest-ranked side when the event started.

Their success means Panthers will compete in next season's Champions Hockey League starting in August.
