  1. Now that we're actually a bit past the Spring season's midway mark, it's finally time to take a look at some of the hottest and coldest teams in the competition. Who's on the up and who's been on the way down? Keep on reading to find out.   Similar to the previous season, this article will be highlighting two kinds of teams: those who have been on a roll, or, in turn, performing below the expectations we set out to them in our season preview. To see exactly how the standings stack up, and to find out all the individual statistics you would possibly want to, take a look at the league page. Without further ado, let's get into it. Bear in mind that the teams within each category are listed purely in alphabetical order. Every team's record as of 22 April is in brackets. Group 1   HOT    HanaaHC (15-3-0) Written by @jahajaha93 ECL Pro mainstay HanaaHC looks to be on the up as of late, and are sporting a really hot record throughout their first 18 games of the season. They really seem to be clicking on all fronts as statistically, the squad is performing up to par with just about any top team in the division. Hanaa's sole weakness this season seems to be in the faceoff circle, in which they are only besting the opponent at a rate of 45.74%, so that is one of the quirks in their game they'll still have to iron out before the playoffs. Their goalie situation also seems to have been sorted out nicely, as both @Simbanho and @Esko-etikka have done their part in clinching some important wins, and are expected to continue sharing the workload.  Individually, left winger @xLeikku has been in a class of his own for Hanaa with his 18+22=40 points thru 18 games. This leads his team by a wide margin and puts him in 9th in the scoring race for the entire division. Also worth a mention is defenseman @ripKeisari, who in his second season with the team now leads the league in scoring for defensemen with 6+20=26 points. On top of that, he has been on fire intercepting pucks and launching counter attacks for his team.    Hokurit (9-4-3) They were listed here last season as well, but it looks like Hokurit keep proving any doubters wrong. New additions LD @Frans-Fin (16 GP, 2+8=10) and C @J-_-Jamaltheman (16 GP, 14+17=31) have seemed to fit right in, perhaps in part fueled by their old Hotbox chemistry. Especially the latter has been on fire, clicking at nearly two points per game during his first season as a forward in Pro. The team's left-winger and leading scorer @Jondeezz (16 GP, 17+18=35) has already proved his ability to put up points at this level in seasons past, but goalie @wilinhoo (12 GP, 83.58 SV%, 1.83 GAA, 1 SO) seems to have taken a meaningful step forward in his development, currently posting a SV% five points higher than what he finished with in ECL '22: Winter. While Hokurit cooled down a bit during the second half last season, the same shouldn't be expected this time: they've already played against most top opponents, opposite of last time around when their start of schedule was weaker. Don't be surprised if they keep climbing up towards higher seeds.    Reality Check (19-0-1) As the title says, Reality Check has absolutely dominated Group 1. Currently sporting a 19-0-1 record in the midst of a 14-game winning streak, the only team they dropped a point against was GIFU Hockey. Matching Delusion's (now hREDS) 29-0-1 record from ECL 9 Pro may not happen, but for example Vesa Pompa HC's 26-2-2 from the same contest or FILADELPHIA's (now Frölunda HC) 27-1-2 from ECL 6 Pro surely seem attainable. Finishing off the regular season strongly is always a big plus, but their sights are surely set on postseason success and finally getting that championship they've been yearning for. It's safe to say that the two new faces compared to last season's runner up squad, @JesseL2002 (20 GP, 14+25=39) and @Mikax222 (20 GP, 7+18=25), have fit in nicely, with the former being joint-leading scorer among their forward group and the latter leading the way for defense.   Notable mentions: Hawaii Hockey, Sulkavan Sudet   COLD   Almtuna eSport (2-14-0) The ECL '22: Winter Core Champion has had a tough time adjusting to the higher level of competition. They've only managed to claw points from fellow bottom table team Pasilan SKA, and just two of their 14 losses have been by a one goal margin. Having a 1.06 GF/GP and 4.75 GA/GP is far from ideal, with the former being 0.32 less than second-worst, and the latter a whopping 1.75 higher than second worst. They've had a lot of rotation with ten different skaters and two goalies making appearances, so perhaps having a bit more longevity in their lineup would be beneficial. Luckily for the Swedes sitting last place, multiple teams above them in the table are well within reach. All they have to do is start winning games to avoid instant relegation. Sounds simple enough, right? Most of their remaining opponents are at or below the playoff line too.    Nemesis (5-9-2) For a team predicted to be in the playoffs or at most barely missing the cut, Nemesis surely has had a lot of troubles to start off the campaign. They've been pretty good at keeping the puck out of their own net as expected, with a 1.94 GA/GP good for sixth in the group, but finding ways to put it in at the other end has been tough: they've only scored 1.38 goals per game, second lowest in Group 1. They have to win all but a few of their remaining games to even think about making the playoffs, but, like Almtuna, they mostly have bottom half of the table teams left in their schedule. They have dropped too many points thus far, but their season is still salvageable if they can right the course quickly and start performing at their own level.    RCTIC (4-4-6) Reaching the quarterfinals last season and being predicted to finish in the top four, RCTIC has had a start reminiscent of some quite big upsets from past seasons. A light at the end of the tunnel is Deadly Phantoms' performances from two previous seasons: they were able to reach the playoffs after being in a similar position at the midway mark, even going all the way to the finals in ECL 12. The "icy boyz" have steadily taken two points from every opponent, but they're soon going to have to start winning some more if they want to get there. RCTIC's playing style will thrive in postseason play as seen the last time out, but first they have to get there and a P/G of 1 isn't going to cut it. Captain/backup player @layout (JxLayout) (6 GP, 1+2=3) has slotted back into the lineup during the past week, so it'll be interesting to see whether that continues. Something of note, @Limbe65 (14 GP, 23+6=29) has scored almost two times as many goals as everyone else in the team *combined*.   Notable mentions: Djurgården Hockey, Mora IK/Pasilan SKA     Group 2   HOT    Deadly Phantoms  (11-3-4) After having cold starts to both previous campaigns since their relegation back to Pro, the longstanding German outfit has finally arrived in the hot column. Getting @Timasy (8 GP, 5+9=14) and @PlaymakerSJ (16 GP, 16+12=28) back was expected to push them towards the top again, but the acquisition of @GERxVillain (12 GP, 2+4=6) to bolster their depth options has also helped. Utilizing meaningful rotation hasn't exactly been in style for some time now, but DPH has been pulling it off with enough quality and existing chemistry. Preventing goals has been their forte as usual, with the Phantoms sitting clearly above the rest in GA/GP in Group 2 alongside Växjö Lakers.    Renascor (9-4-1) The lineup changes were expected to hit really hard on Renascor, but they've been able to pretty much continue where they left off last season. Their goalscoring hasn't been at the rate it was before, but in turn their defense has been top notch and they've been able to turn tight games into wins with the help of goalie @sumskoy26 (14 GP, 82.72 SV%, 2 GAA, 1 SO). It's not to say that they would've had a tough time scoring though, with captain @Virusactive leading the way with a solid 8+21=29 points in 14 GP. While they're currently sitting at third place, it's an extremely even group so we'll see how far their flight lasts.    Växjö Lakers (15-1-0) Offense was always going to be Växjö's strong suit, and that's definitely been the case: their 3.88 GF/GP is a whole goal more than the second highest mark in their group, Fiasko's 2.85. Wingers @Kattenj (16 GP, 18+26=44) and @Birkedal96 (16 GP, 20+20=40) have scored well over two points per game, meanwhile center @dzouvi (16 GP, 16+15=31) isn't too far off either. The players' quality was never a question, but the uncertainty around how their squad would click seems to have been cleared. They have some tough opponents left, but the group's number one spot looks slated to remain theirs.   Notable mentions: Powerhouse HC, Fiasko   COLD    FILADELPHIA ACADEMY (6-8-2) The ACADEMY started its season with @Tappu (TAPPUU_) playing four games at RD, but soon signed @Wenger (re_Wenger) (4 GP, 0+3=3) to move TAPPUU_ back to goalie. When re_Wenger left to Elite division GOONS after another four games, last season's RD @Ipana27 (8 GP, 0+3=3) stepped back in and seems to have taken the spot for now. Coping without @xAaro89x's scoring has been tough, and in addition to being one of the lowest scoring teams, FILADELPHIA ACADEMY has also conceded the most goals per game (3.06) in Group 2. They don't have the easiest opponents left, so clawing back lost ground is a tough task ahead.    GHETTO FIREBIRDS (7-6-1) GHETTO FIREBIRDS have usually been known for their tight team defense, but troubles in their own end have been prevalent this season: they've conceded the second most goals per game in their group, an even three. Their goalscoring has been decent enough, but if they want to climb towards the top four we expected of them, limiting goals allowed should be priority number one. They have ascended above the playoff line during the past week, so maybe it was just a rocky start with a changed roster and the FIREBIRDS are on the up now.    Herlev Eagles (6-7-1) Herlev Eagles have the exact same roster they reached the quarterfinals with last season, so it's unclear as to why and how they are struggling the way they are. The offseason was unusually short too, so it can't really be chalked to having a long break either. They've actually managed to keep the puck out of their net quite well, but their 2.07 GF/GP is only above Joukkue and Björklöven Esport among their group. We know they have the skill, so it's just a matter of getting out of a slump for the Denmark-based organization's squad. They need to win most of their remaining games to get into the playoffs.   Notable mentions: Björklöven Esport, Company of Geeks     There's still plenty to play for as the ECL '22: Spring Pro regular season is set to end on 5 May, so keep on following the action and stay tuned for our Round 1 preview come playoff time. If you're one of the players involved, good luck and have fun trying to clinch that postseason spot!   PS: We would love for you to follow our social channels, as they are an integral part of the ECL season.

  2. The second week of the Elite season is coming to an end today and the past week certainly shed some light on questions we might have had for some teams, but very much still lies unanswered. Many teams that were expected to be in the playoffs are still yet to heat up.  Last Sundays early broadcast games included GOONS challenging hREDS and HV71 playing against YMCA Esports. hREDS dominated their games involving Filip @Faze91- Azri's  two shutouts. GOONS have had a tougher start then maybe expected. The still to be identified badgerlike creatures made a change to their lineup for their games against Falun Coal Miners as they replaced Joel @jtorro-_- Tourunen with new player Veeti @Wenger(re_Wenger) Paloneva who was added last week from Pro's FILADELPHIA ACADEMY. YMCA Esports and HV71 split points in their games by both getting a win in regulation time. HV71 had a pretty decent week as they were able to collect full points against fellow Swedish team Färjestad BK and took hREDS all the way to overtime in the second game between them.  HAVU Gaming has had an incredibly tough start with their new roster. The multiple European Champion has only won two of their eight first games of the season. One player from the black and green who is still waiting to heat up is Ilmari @Buantso(Puantso) Lehkonen who has only one goal to his name thus far. That goal was big for HAVU as it was an overtime game winning goal against JYP. We have seen HAVU doing some rotation early on and they still don't seem to be sticking with one ensemble, so it'll be interesting to see what they go with in the end. JYP stole three points out of HAVU but got no points from Conquer Gaming on Thursday, which was an upset for them. Speaking about Conquer Gaming they started season on a five game losing streak but were able to turn the tide and right now are on five game winning streak.  Roots Gaming ended up having a six game losing streak after winning Conquer in their first games of the season, but that ended against Frölunda HC which is a big steal for the still very young team. Linus @Limu95 Christiansson has been on fire by scoring 10 goals and 16 points to this point. More can still be expected with the highly efficient shooting the guy is doing - 52.6% going in at the moment. You have to also mention Niko @vVoDee Vottonen who has scored 5 goals which is most among defenders. One of the teams who has had a decent start for the season is ZSC Esports who sits at 5th place in the standings when you look at points per game. Points from seven out of eight games is a great feat thus far and if they keep going, they'll be in the playoffs for sure. Örebro Hockey has split wins with every opponent so far and the biggest win out of those games came against hREDS, handing the defending champions their first loss of the season. The hero for Örebro in that game was Jan-Mikael @Janski (jansku23)Aittoniemi who scored all three of his teams goals.  It's tough to have a complete outlook on the standings when teams have various amounts of games played, and the same goes even more for the individual stats. Arttu @laitineen64(laiitinen) Laitinen is still leading the point producers with his 26 points in 14 games. The two other guys in the top 3 are Niklas @NikkeDangles Tukiainen and Perttu @Beniittto Kemppainen. Both guys have two points per game as they have 20 points in 10 games. In total, hREDS have scored 3 goals per game which is most in the league. Another guy you have to mention is Kevin @Keuschemisch Berg who has 15 points in 8 games and has had a great start to his rookie season in Elite.  Last seasons top defender Aaro @xDoumi Ruuhinen has continued where he left off and leads all defensemen with 14 points in 10 games. Vvodee isn't the only defender who has found a way to light the lamp this season as there are four different defensemen who have notched five goals thus far. Among goalies, this weeks mention goes to cover gamer Niklas @uhNikke Nieminen, who leads the pack with his great 87.14 SV% and added two shutouts to his name against HAVU Gaming this week. Remember to join us tonight in the last broadcast of the week! We'll start off at 17:45 CEST with two great clashes between teams desperate to add to their point totals.

  3. As we're at the midway point of the ECL '22 Spring Lite season, it's time to take a look at where some teams stand at the moment, some top performers of the season and how we're expecting things to turn out in the last few weeks. Join us for the ride! About half of the season is in the rearview when almost all teams have played more than 14 games in the regular season. A couple of new teams have risen and some “old faces” have shown that they still can hold the controller. When looking at groups now it is hard to quickly see the true leader of the group due to the fact that teams have played at different pace. Of course when looking at group 1 you can see that Destiny has been very solid throughout the season and none other than then should be topping the group. However, my point is that at this point you shouldn't blindly stare at the points in the standings, since teams have played at different pace and are facing different opponents at different stages of the season. When looking at groups now and comparing it to the Winter season there are a couple similarities. Last season it was FILADELPHIA ACADEMY who were almost unstoppable during the regular season. This season it has been Destiny. However, one big difference sticks out in the comparison of these two teams. Destiny already has outscored all of FILADELPHIA ACADEMY from last season, but they've also allowed almost a goal per game more, so you'd expect them to address that defensive slack at some point in a way or another. Of course you have to remember that FILA was playing their second season together, so they had the chemistry advantage already going into their campaign. Even though Lite isn't the highest level, the characteristic of the league is very highly skilled individuals scattered across several teams. Players who score those big goals in important games, and those who will find that fifth hole in the blink of an eye when given the chance. Players to watch: @xSagwa from Destiny The top point scorer in Lite. Most goals, most assists, flawless on a few faceoffs. Perhaps this guy is playing in the wrong division? The most complete player in Lite at the moment. @juusoskari from TTK A true puck hog in the division and the fifth best defenseman in terms of scoring. Playmaker behind the lines that has an offensive upside. Solid down low with great hands and playmaking ability. @PCJP (Pelkonen-I92I) from Arkham Asylum An experienced and really skilled fast moving goalie. Reads the game like an open book and is really hard to score against. With a goalie like this, Arkham Asylum doesn’t need to worry about easy goals going in. Sometimes, these reports can be quite tricky to write. If all the teams played at exactly the same pace it could be easier to draw comparisons and judge form, but we're working with what we've got right now. Now, we know how much you guys love some good tongue-in-cheek predictions, so that's exactly what we've gone for. Let's create some controversy between writer and reader. So - Here are my predictions and assumptions for the rest of the season, unfortunately not including every team, but some out of every group. Group 1 Destiny will top their group. Lemmenvelhot will drop to the eight seed. Bellizi will claim the second spot. Rusty Bulls will drop outside the playoffs. Tequila Sunrise will sneak into the playoffs. IK Oskarshamn will be the third. Linköping HC will battle to the end to make the playoffs. Stone Age battles for the eighth seed if @Ma26one can continue being an accurate passing machine. Group 2 Arkham Asylum will top their group. Sawolanche will be a playoff team. RoKi Esports will fight to gain a playoff spot. Pirati Chomutov Esports will drop from the playoff line. Bastu will be int he top 4. Free From Rodents will not make the playoffs. United Front will fight their way into the playoffs with @Kuolio10's clapper and body checking power. Including Me has an enforcer defenceman - good or bad, you decide! Group 3 Spirit will top the group. Tadpole will be second. Södertälje SK will lose out on the playoffs. Valco will not make the playoffs. Synergy Hockey is battling for top 4 position. Luleå Hockey Is in the playoff battle. Oulunsalo HT still has a chance. Group 4 Hunters will top the group if the writer can catch some pucks. Technical Disaster will battle for that top seed. HC SHH will drop from the top four. Neptune Hockey will drop from the top four. Resurrection doesn’t make it to the playoffs. Project X will finish eighth. Lutunilkat will miss out on the playoffs. Tic Tac Toes battles for top four if @Artuzio gets the puck in front of the opponents net. Argue, discuss, and prove me wrong, show why every prediction is false. Maybe even I can admit I was wrong - someday. We're wishing all teams good luck in their final push for the season. Get out there, play hard and most importantly have fun!

  6. After a tough day of competition last weekend in the Helsinki city tournament, it's now time to see what Tampere has to offer! Bring your best to the ice for a chance to make it to the TOP 32! The teams have been divided into three groups and the Tampere city tournament will be played in two stages, the group stage and the playoffs. Every team is guaranteed at least five games (the group stage), after which the top two will continue directly to the playoffs. The best team in 3rd place (based on PPG) will gain a direct playoff spot, whereas the next two teams in 3rd place will battle it out for the final playoff spot in a BO1 game. This will leave us with eight teams in total in the playoffs. See the full groups over at the league page - here. In the playoffs, the eight teams will be seeded based on PPG for each round and play a BO1 to advance. The top 3 teams will gain a direct spot into the TOP 32-stage of the entire Wilhelm eHockey Tour, whereas all other teams gain ranking points for participation. Ranking points add up throughout the eHockey Tour and will grant access to the TOP 32-stage for the top five teams without a top 3 city tournament finish. So, you'll have two ways to gain access to the TOP 32-stage: Reach the top 3 in a city tournament Rack up ranking points throughout the eHockey Tour in several city tournaments In terms of how the ranking system works, basically, the higher you finish, the higher you score. 1st 200p 2nd 150p 3rd 125p 4th 100p 5th-8th 75p 9th --> 50p The highest ranking teams will also receive awesome product prizes from our great sponsors! Let the action begin and we'll follow along to see who will be the next teams to secure a spot at the TOP 32-stage.

  21. Looking for defenders. Tryout starts right away as we have aquired some good players. We're looking for defenders who are good at breakouts, and comfortable with the puck in correlation to knowing the position of defending and attacking. We would like to play as a unit, attack together and defend together. Defenders are important part of the offense, and forwards equally in defence. We are moving the puck with speed with skilled players up front. Tryouts start right away, we have no previous division requirements. However, some ECL experience is required. Previously we have Won the first season (9) of NEO. After that we have been split up in Lite, barely playing or acting backup. However, the eager to play is back. The division has not been set were we would like to participate, it depends on the members. Nonetheless, if all goes as planned and enough players with the same opinions, Lite will be the division. We're not excluding other positions, forwards, goalies, coaches or benchwarmers. You're all welcome to try. By no means are you required to be a superstar, scoring 5 goals in your first game. That's not what we value, we have the skillset to score. We're looking for a standpoint to develop on. Do not hestitate to contact me, nationality does not matter as long as you can communicate in english on a basic level. Mic is required but not for playing normal games from start.

If you haven't heard from me in a while, please contact me again if you're still interested.
