It is time to get the Lite Playoffs underway and below you will find the playoff pairings that will get it done. Before you scroll down, the NHLGamer.com staff would like to thank all 48 Lite teams who finished the ECL 5 season. You guys truly rock and despite some hard decisions that were forced to be made here towards the end of the season, we hope to see all of you back again for ECL 6 (regardless if it is in Lite or Pro!) when it starts up in January 2018. Thank you.

Playoff schedule

To be able to complete ECL 5 Lite before Christmas, this is the exact timeline that needs to be held for the playoffs. No extra time will be given during these playoffs as we won't be able to complete the playoffs before the holidays in that case and if there is one thing I am sure we can all agree on, is that we dont want a repeat of ECL 3 where the "christmas break" turned out to be devastating for the playoffs. Anyway, here is the schedule:

Round 1: Starts 2017-11-16 (TODAY!) with last day to play games 2017-11-22
Round 2: Starts 2017-11-23 with last day to play games 2017-11-29
Round 3 (Quarterfinals): Starts 2017-11-30 with last day to play games 2017-12-06
Round 4 (Semi-finals): Starts 2017-12-07 with last day to play games 2017-12-13
Round 5 (Finals): Starts 2017-12-14 with last day to play games 2017-12-20
