Named after the ECHL's founder, Patrick Kelly, the playoff series showcases the best teams from the league, culminating in a best-of-seven series to determine the champion.

The format of the playoffs has evolved, with various changes in the number of teams qualifying and the structure of the rounds, but the spirit of fierce competition has remained. Teams from regions across the U.S. have battled it out for the coveted trophy, helping to fuel the popularity of hockey in the southern and eastern states. Notable franchises such as the Alaska Aces, Florida Everblades, and the Colorado Eagles have made their mark by consistently showing their prowess in these playoff series, becoming synonymous with exceptional performance in the league.
