The ECL is constantly evolving, and each season brings new rosters, returning veterans, and shifting team dynamics. To help us seed divisions as accurately as possible, we’re opening applications for Community Scouts. What Is a Community Scout? A Community Scout is a knowledgeable, experienced member of the NHL community who helps us assess the relative strength of teams within a division. Scouts are not judges, officials, or league staff — instead, they provide valuable insight to support our internal seeding process. It's worth noting, that the Community Scout does not need to know all divisions - even being knowledgeable within just one division is helpful. This allows us to combine: administrative data past season results roster changes and community expertise …to create the most competitive, balanced, and enjoyable ECL experience possible. Who Are We Looking For? We’re inviting players, captains, staff, content creators — or any long-time followers of the scene — who feel they have a solid understanding of: the relative skill levels of teams in a division roster strengths and weaknesses past performances and trends the “real” level of teams beyond just their results You do not need to be a current or former Elite/Pro player. What matters most is knowledge, fairness, and familiarity with the community and the level of play that you are providing your feedback on. What Will Community Scouts Do? Ahead of the group draw, Community Scouts will be asked to: Review the list of teams in a specific division Share their opinion on how strong each team is Provide optional short comments explaining their reasoning Your input will be used as one of several data points in our seeding process. The goal is simple: Better information → Better groups → Better games. How Much Time Does It Take? Very little — usually just a few minutes per division you follow, however, we will need you to be able to submit the feedback within a few hours of getting the list, as we wish to get the groups and schedules communicated as early as possible. Sign-ups close on Thursday night, but we might reach out earlier to get things started ahead of time. This is a completely voluntary, community-driven role.
