Requested move

I started a discussion over on the Ice Hockey Wikiproject but got limited to no feedback so I figured I would transfer the discussion here and see if it can generate anything.

After looking at some articles regarding Slovenian ice hockey recently and I noticed a couple of issues regarding the names of the articles here on Wikipedia. The Slovenian Ice Hockey League is known as the "Državno prvenstvo" on the national federations page which translates to "National Championship". The Slovenian Ice Hockey League article title is simple incorrect and I think it needs to be changed (and all its sub-articles) to the Slovenian Championship (or Slovenian National Championship).

After a bit of searching I found some English source mentions though they are not of the best quality so it has made establishing a common English name a bit tricky.

Slovenian photo agency Sportida calls it the "Slovenian National Championship", [1]
The European Rookie Cup calls it the "Slovenian Championship", [2]
Eurohockey.com calls it the "Slovenian Championship", [3]
And for what its worth (given the lack of decent sources I found and even though its a forum so doesn't count) the International Hockey Forums call it the "Slovenian Championship", [4]

The same issue applies to the Slovenian Ice Hockey Cup is known simple as "Pokal Slovenije" on the national federations page which translates to "Slovenian Cup". Changing the Slovenian Ice Hockey Cup to Slovenian Cup (ice hockey) to me makes more sense and is more inline with the naming conventions we have for other national ice hockey cups. However it could of been named "Slovenian Ice Hockey Cup" to be more inline with the format used for the Slovenian Football Cup article (Slovenian Cup currently redirects here).
