Can you use a slash command for player channels?

Yes, the command is: /send channel message
You'll need to use quotes if the channel name is more than one word, as yours is. So for example:
/send "Speed Trial" 3 spots left on BAF!
This can be a bit tedious to type each time, so you can also make a bind or macro, for example:
/bind . beginchat /send "Speed Trial"
That would make the . (period) key start a chat message and insert the /send "Speed Trial" part, and then you just type your message.
You can use the /send command to do so. For example: /send "Speed Trial" Hi everyone would say "Hi everyone" on the "Speed Trial" channel. More commonly people use it as part of a bind to chat on specific channels. If you wanted to use Shift+Enter to chat on "Speed Trial", for example, you could use /bind Shift+Enter BeginChat /Send "Speed Trial" (space on the end of that) and every time you hit Shift+Enter, the /send part would already be there and you just have to type and hit enter to talk on your "Speed Trial" channel.

I use chatset, which sets the default chat to whatever global channel I need. This is easier because I don't have to invoke a bind each time, I just use Enter as normal. I do of course have to use a bind to set the initial channel.
/chatset ChampioNexus
Then just Enter to open the chat. The chat prompt will change to "ChampioNexus" just like it's Team or Local when you have those set. It even uses the same color as the channel text, if you've set a special color for that channel.
/bind alt+b chatset BMT of Champion
Now the default channel will change to BMT of Champion whenever you press Alt-B.
IE I can use /league, /team, /broadcast etc to talk in those channels.
If I have a channel called "Speed Trial" can I use a slash command to talk in it?
