eHockey SM 2024 - 6v6 Season Information

Hello everyone and welcome to the eHockey SM (Finnish Championship) 2024 6v6 tournament!

The primary communication for this tournament has been sent out in Finnish per email, and this news story is intended for English-speaking players and anyone interested in following along with the tournament.

The eHockey SM 6v6 groups are now displayed and available for viewing.
To view the match schedule, click here.

Please note that the match schedule is quite compact, so be sure to contact your opponents well in advance and agree on the days of play - as the preliminary round must be played by March 21st. Also, note that games to be played on the standard day and time must be confirmed with the opponent, so just showing up without discussing with the opponent is insufficient.

Before starting the games, we want to ensure that each team member checks that they have purchased the Leijonat eHockey Pelipassi (Game Pass). The Game Pass must be acquired before the first game, but no later than March 11th, 2024, at 23:59. After this, unlicensed players will be removed from the team roster. If an unlicensed player has participated in a match, it will automatically be recorded as a forfeit victory for the opposing team.

The team captaincy must fill out the following form for license verification before playing your first match: https://forms.gle/ZDjDeTQsykQ4jxvY8 (remember to use the email address with which purchase transactions have been made in Suomisport!)
