Eastern Conference (PIHA)
The Eastern Conference is one of two conferences in the Professional Inline Hockey Association (PIHA) used to divide teams. Its counterpart is the Western Conference.
It was created in 2005 when PIHA expanded west with five teams in Colorado. PIHA aligned its teams into two conferences.

The Eastern Conference Championship Trophy is awarded annually to the conference champion.
