† Note: The 2019–20 season was cancelled completely in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the league and play-offs concluded without a winner being crowned. The above stat line indicates Coventry's league position (3rd) at the time of the cancellation.
†† Note: The 2020–21 Elite League season - originally scheduled for a revised start date of 5 December - was suspended on 15 September 2020, because of ongoing coronavirus pandemic restrictions. The EIHL board determined that the season was non-viable without supporters being permitted to attend matches and unanimously agreed to a suspension. The season was cancelled completely in February 2021. Coventry were later announced as one of four Elite League teams taking part in the 'Elite Series' between April–May 2021, a total of 24 games culminating in a best-of-three play-off final series.
