The ECL '26: Winter season in the Core division is over — and HC Lisko are champions. Coming in as the #9 seed, nobody was handing them anything. But HC Lisko didn't need anyone to hand them anything — they went out and took it.
Their playoff road tells the whole story: a 4–0 dismantling of German Elite Hockey (4) in the semis, and a 4–2 victory over the heavily favored #2 seed HC Punishers in the Finals. The higher seed didn't matter. The bracket didn't matter. When the moments were biggest, Lisko was best.

Laspar: The backbone of a championship run
- 25 GP, 20–3–2
- 84.62% SV%, 1.92 GAA

Twenty wins. Four shutouts. Laspar (L. Koos) was the anchor HC Lisko needed, and he delivered it across 25 playoff games. That kind of consistency over a long postseason run doesn't happen by accident.
