Cardiff Devils defeated French side Bruleurs de Loups 6-1 to win the Continental Cup and claim a first European title.
Devils become only the second British side to win a European competition after Nottingham Panthers won the cup in 2017.
A sell-out Vindico Arena erupted when Tyler Busch gave Devils a sixth minute lead against the run of play.
Grenoble-based Bruleurs de Loups equalised 10 minutes later with a goal from Aurelien Dair.
Devils went back ahead on the 23rd minute when Kohen Olischefski put Great Britain forward Brett Perlini in on a one-on-one with Slovenian national keeper Matija Pintaric to score.
Perlini was back among the goals seven minutes later, pouncing on a re-bound after Bayley Harewood’s attempt was blocked.
