UNWANTED looking for both starting G and starting LD for all upcoming tournaments. Contact me preferably on discord if you are interested.

I suggest that all speed-boosting abilities, as well as the Truculence ability, should be banned in ECL. Speed-boosting abilities give players an unrealistic advantage, creating bursts of speed that disrupt the natural flow of the game and reduce the importance of positioning, strategy, and overall hockey IQ. Similarly, Truculence provides an unfair physical advantage by making body checks excessively powerful, leading to unbalanced gameplay. Together, these abilities reduce competitiveness and make matches less enjoyable. By banning both speed-boosting abilities and Truculence, gameplay would become more balanced and fair, rewarding skill, passing, and teamwork instead of relying on overpowered x factors. This change would greatly improve the competitive integrity and overall experience of playing this game. As for tipper, there is currently not enough data available, so no stance will be taken on it at this time.

Heimo (elite) New version is coming out in a week and we are in need of players 🙂 Looking for LW, C, RW, LD, RD and G. So if you are a proven impactful Elite player or think you have the potential to be one, drop me a message in here, psn SadaPoika or discord sadapoika.

Puck Over Glass (ECL Pro) Out: Keittola782 (C) Komarovinleksa (RW) In: Lotiseva (RW) kannikkoo (C) Thank you Keittola for everything and best luck of the future! We also want to say that be aware komarovinleksa or at least make sure that if he joins your team that he pays his part of the season payment before the season starts. We gave him multiple opportunities to pay but even after the season ended he hasn’t answered any messages about the payment. We don’t appriciate that kind of behavior and we hope that our community does neither. See you on the ice!

Honestly, it’s quite simple if the upcoming season is meant to be played primarily on player and team skill. The logical approach would be to only allow Elite Edges, regardless of tier, and perhaps Endurance. A lot of people here are reacting to X-Factors that provide speed boosts, and I agree with Jani on this: the META is something we inevitably force into existence. If forwards use abilities like Wheels, then defensemen are essentially forced to counter with the same, which ultimately leads to everyone running identical builds when ECL begins. This can be avoided by simply removing Wheels and any other X-Factors that create unnatural speed boosts, because there will always be ways to exploit them, as shown in the clips shared earlier. Elite Edges, on the other hand, provides a natural improvement to movement. Allowing the most mechanically skilled players to use it doesn’t give them free offense, it simply rewards skill in terms of what each player can execute. That’s fair, because it’s available to everyone. Different players have different ceilings, and that’s how it should be. In the end, championships are won by the best team play (Last Dance), not by one individual dominating like in the lower divisions. The criticism of Truculence is also completely valid. It’s broken in this game and frustrating to face, whether you’re a forward or a defenseman. Even body checking in general feels overtuned, no matter the attribute. But that has always been the case since NHL 09: with speed and timing, hits land. At the same time, there’s this strange culture where everyone insists on using 72.5 kg builds while expecting to be physically unbreakable. That contradiction is part of the problem. Players choose to sacrifice weight for speed, yet still expect to be rock-solid in physical battles. What strikes me most is that very few forwards in this discussion even consider banning anything other than speed boosts or physical dominance. What about Quick Release or other shooting-boosting abilities? Do we really need them? Season after season, we’ve shown that scoring rates don’t actually drop when we remove those perks. I analyzed last season to see which teams lost offensive production after losing their gold abilities in NHL 25. Only one Elite team saw a noticeable decline, and it was significant. Every other team performed better, likely because they played a different type of hockey that leaned more on team play. If the goal is to create hockey that resembles the real game and rewards teamwork, then the best model is what we had in NHL 21 and 22: let the meta be Elite Edges, not a collection of boosts to speed or shooting. I understand this will cause a reaction. Scoring goals is fun, and some players probably feel they’ve become better scorers in this version of the game thanks to Quick Release. But if forwards are allowed such handicaps in front of the net, then perhaps we should allow Truculence for defensemen—and for defensemen only. The defensive side of the game is being overlooked too. Poke checks are weak, and NHL 26 enables extremely fast passing tempos. Yet we accept that forwards can run abilities that literally reduce a goalie’s save percentage. Shouldn’t that be just as important to discuss? Too often, these debates focus only on offense, when they should be about the whole game. In a tournament played for money, at the highest level of eHockey, we should aim for as few handicaps as possible. Games should be decided by team play and individual skill, not by artificial advantages baked into the game. I genuinely don’t understand why a top player would need a shooting boost in the first place. Using Quick Release is the equivalent of running an aimbot in CS, and Truculence is like wearing reactive body armor. We should strip it back and run tournaments where the only X-Factors allowed are Elite Edges for natural movement and Endurance to maintain tempo. Everything else should be removed. That would allow players to once again use any length or weight they want without being locked into a narrow meta. It would force people to think deeply about their builds, and success would come down to skill and hockey IQ, exactly as it should.

Alright, so I made a comeback to 6v6 in the spring after a 5-year break, and spent the summer practicing how to hold controller the right way 🤪 The game’s slowly starting to flow again, so I decided to try my luck in finding a team for upcoming tournaments. 😬 Position: RD Playstyle: Defensive two-way defenseman 😅 Previous experience: Lite / Pro / Elite Aspirations: Lite/Pro Hit me up if you’re interested in trying me out! 🙏☺️ DC / SG / PSN: Seahyena

Pelikirja (Core) After rebuilding our roster from last season, we are looking for a starting RW and a backup RD.

Golden Buffalos (ECL ELITE): Are looking for a LD + RD players for the upcoming season. contact me or Patzlaf for more information.

Pirates E-sport wont continue anymore, so free F/D to next ECL.

I don't play slow because of the perks. I play slow because of my brain. And I don't use the right stick because NHL didn't have it when I wasn't old.

I wouldn’t advocate for banning elite edges since the players aren’t even near as agile as last year but i would be open to banning wheels 100% agree with the truculence thing, it takes like 10 seconds to get up even with full stamina, hitting is way too strong in general even with 70 body checking without truculence I don’t expect tipper to be any different than last year although i haven’t seen it in action yet Goalies seem way too overpowered atm but i don’t know if abilities have anything to do with that
