    ECL '23 Winter: Core Schedule

    • Regular Season: 13.12.2022-19.1.2023
    • RO32: 22.-26.1.2023
    • RO16: 29.1-2.2.2023
    • Quarterfinals: 5.-9.2.2023
    • Semifinals: 12.-16.2.2023
    • Finals: 19.-23.2.2023

    The Core division was introduced in ECL 12, and thus this is going to be the fourth time we're seeing action at the fourth tier of competition in the ECL. The division houses several interesting teams representing traditional ice hockey clubs, such as HC Pustertal eSports based in northern Italy, who are in their inaugural season. Some other examples of such teams are Swiss sides Ambri eSports, EHC Basel eSports or the French Remparts de Tours Esport, who are now starting their sixth ECL campaign.

    Some other teams to keep your eye on would definitely be the long-lived Pirates eSports, who have been consistent in their participation, but success has eluded them. Their roster has seen some turnover throughout the years, but now most of the current squad are carrying over from last season's Pirates eSports Origins. 

    Perhaps the most electrifying player in the entire division can be found in the roster of Capetown Kings, as @Timotei97 has joined them from GIFU Hockey. It'll be interesting to see if he will end up being in a backup role or if the former Elite and Pro winger will take the ice in the Capetown jersey. Elsewhere, FIFA superstar @egoapina could be an interesting player to follow for his Turkunummi, who are coming fresh off an ECL '22 Spring Neo Championship. 


    ECL '23 Core competition officially starts tonight, with several teams having their opening matchups scheduled! Make sure to follow the tag #ECL23Winter on social media to stay up to date on all the latest news and gameday updates. As always, Good luck, play hard and have fun!

    Yeah, we'll definitely aim to highlight Core, Lite and Pro more on the social media side of things this season too. Unfortunately I'm slightly struggling to keep tabs on what's going on with all divisions and teams, so if you know someone who happens to be knowledgeable about Core, don't hesitate to refer them to me! :)
