    Welcome to ECL Elite All-Star Week

    Hey NHLGamers,

    You may have noticed that there is a break in the ECL Elite schedule next week and there's a reason for this. We hereby want to present to you, the ECL Elite All-Star Week!

    We asked every ECL Elite team to submit a list of 4 players from their team that they wanted to nominate for the event, consisting of:

    • 2 Forwards
    • 1 Defenceman
    • 1 Goalie

    There were some requirements for the players, in order to be eligible for the All-Star Event:

    • The nominees have to had played in at least 50% of the teams games this season.
    • At the very least, one of the nominees has to be able to stream.
    • Nominees have to be available to play at the following times:
      • Wednesday the 21st 20:30 CET
      • Thursday the 22nd 20:30 CET
      • Sunday the 25th 20:30 CET

    Most teams submitted 4 players per team, some were unable to. In the end, we ended up with a pool of 54 players. From this pool the ECL Staff selected 8 captains, who will draft their own teams from the pool of remaining players.

    How does the ECL Elite All-Star week work?

    • 3-on-3 hockey (+ goalies)!
    • Out of the 54 players that we were presented with by the Elite teams, the staff have picked 8 captains.
    • These 8 captains will draft from the pool of the remaining 46 players to form teams of 4 players, including:
      • 2 forwards
      • 1 defenceman
      • 1 goalie
    • The remaining 22 players that were not picked won't be in the All-Star event, unless something unexpected happens and a team needs to substitute a player.
    • These restrictions apply to the captains selecting the teams:
      • A minimum of 1 player from each Elite team needs to be represented in the All-Star event
        • In the first round of picks, players for the remaining 8 teams that aren't represented through the captains have to be picked.
      • Two players from the same ECL Elite team should not play on the same All-Star team.
      • The players that are available in the draft pool must be selected for the same position as they are in the pool. A goalie should not be selected to play forward, etc.
    • The 8 teams will be randomly split into 2 groups:
      • Group 1 plays on Wednesday the 21st, starting 20:30 CET. 3 games will be live streamed with commentary - the exact details will be agreed between broadcast team and teams.
      • Group 2 plays on Thursday the 22nd, starting 20:30 CET. 3 games will be live streamed with commentary - the exact details will be agreed between broadcast team and teams.
      • The best two teams from each group will make it into the semi-final stage, best-of-1. All three games (2x semis and 1x final) will be streamed. The semi-finals and finals will be played on Sunday the 25th, starting 20:30 CET. 

     

    The All-Star Draft

    As mentioned above, the captains will draft their team from the remaining pool of players, meaning there will be a total of three rounds in the drafts in order to fill out the teams. The draft will be a snake draft, meaning the captain that goes first in the first round, will pick last in the second round and then first in the third round again.

    The draft order was randomly picked and it looks as follows:

    1. cHIIMEERa
    2. vatalisti
    3. FlyerKungen
    4. Norpee
    5. ICappeI
    6. SepiDN
    7. TehhAhola
    8. MartindalexC

     

    The first round of picks is from the teams that are not represented by a captain. Below you can see the full list of the players in the All-Star player pool. The captains are marked in bold and with a grey background and the available picks in round 1 have a blue background. In the two following rounds, captains can fill out their empty spots from any team, except the team they represent themselves.
