SportsGamers,
Now is your chance to get in on the action and join us in the biggest NHL esports league in the world! The ECL is entering it's 14th season this April and you're all welcome along us on that journey. There's still one week left to sign up for our Neo and Core divisions, whether NHL esports is an entirely new thing for you or if you've already got some experience under your belt, we'll find a place for you. You'll have time to sign up until 1.4.2022 at 23:59 CEST.
The ECL is the pinnacle of European NHL esports - a league where all the best European NHL gamers create teams and compete against each other in the game mode EASHL (6v6) for the title of Best EASHL Team in Europe. The league currently features five divisions, so action is guaranteed for everyone regardless of skill level and experience!
Basic information/requirements of ECL:
-
Regional restrictions: ECL is a European tournament format, however, we do not necessarily exclude North American or Russian players. A European server will always be used. In case of severe connection issues, we reserve the right to exclude teams or players.
-
Russian-owned organization's participation is currently prohibited indefinitely. The ban affects organizations, meaning that Russian players and their private created teams will be able to participate, but cannot be affiliated to a Russian-owned organization.

Note: It is super helpful and critical for us to succeed in getting our partners tagged, so they get the necessary mentions and interaction to validate their participation in the future. That being said, it is understandable that there may be circumstances due to your other partners where you are unable to tag competition etc. Your support is appreciated.
As there are quite a few hashtags by now, especially from a Twitter perspective with limited characters, we recommend using at least #ECL22Winter in the text part of the tweet and leave the sponsor tags for the end. If you need to cut out tags, remove #esports and #NHL22. For Instagram this shouldn't be an issue.
PS: We would love for you to follow our social channels, as they are an integral part of the ECL season.
