We want to share an update on the timing of the National Championships (FCL/eHSM, GCL, SCL, and WECL), which have traditionally taken place between ECL seasons. After reviewing the current ECL schedule and our available preparation time, we've decided not to run the National Championships during this spring window. The ECL Winter season started later than originally planned, and with the Spring season needing to begin shortly, there simply isn't enough room to deliver these events at the standard they deserve. Our current plan is to launch the National Championships in September, aligned with the start of the new NHL 27 cycle. We believe that's the right setting for these events — when competitive energy is high, rosters are fresh, and the community is fully engaged. Running them during August also risks lower participation, as it falls during peak summer holiday season for many of our European players. More details on formats, qualification, and schedules will follow as plans are confirmed. In the meantime, if you'd like to contribute to shaping and improving the National Championships — whether through organisation, production, sponsorship connections, or other means — we'd love to hear from you. Reach out to me via Private Message, Discord, or hello@sportsgamer.gg. The registration for ECL '26: Spring is now open, and more details about the ECL season will be shared in the coming days.

The ECL '26: Winter season in the Lite division is over — and Renegade IHC are champions. Coming in as the #2 seed, they carried the expectations that come with that tag and delivered on every single one of them. A 4–2 semifinal win over Tinted Visors, followed by a dominant 4–1 Finals victory over Wida — clean, clinical, and convincing. This wasn't a team that scraped through. Renegade IHC looked like the best team in the division for most of the season, and when the playoffs came, they proved it. The numbers don't lie The offensive engine for Renegade IHC was firing on all cylinders throughout the playoff run. Foppatofflan and MartindalexC combined for over 100 points between them, while NotzPanthers quietly put up one of the most productive two-way playoff performances in the division. When everyone on your top six is contributing at this level, opponents simply run out of answers. The numbers: Playoff scoring leaders (Renegade IHC) Foppatofflan (A. Liljegren) — 20 GP, 75P (26G, 49A), 11 GWG, 37.1% S% MartindalexC (C. Martindale) — 20 GP, 57P (22G, 35A), 12 GWG, 26.2% S% NotzPanthers (J. Holland) — 20 GP, 57P (30G, 27A), 16 GWG, 26.3% S% KnightK10 (K. Knight) — 20 GP, 16P (5G, 11A) Komir_90 (M. Salvi) — 20 GP, 15P (1G, 10A) Calxm86: Steady when it mattered most 20 GP, 16–4–0 86.18% SV%, 1.76 GAA 6 shutouts Calxm86 (C. Mcateer-Ellis) was a consistent presence throughout 20 playoff games, posting numbers that gave his teammates the platform to go to work offensively. Sixteen wins across a full playoff run is as reliable as it gets.
