The Espoo eHockey Open is a relaxed, low-threshold NHL 24 tournament suitable for players of all levels. Participants mainly compete online, but the finalists will meet at the final event in Kauppakeskus Ainoa, Espoo, on April 13. The tournament's opening event was also celebrated at the NHL Hockey Day in Finland event in Espoo a couple of weeks ago on March 1st.

The tournament is played in the World of Chel 4v4 mode (officially called 3v3 in NHL 24), and teams of two or more members can participate. The best teams will be awarded product prizes in the form of goodie bags. Games are played on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Participation is free. Registration ends Wednesday, March 13th at the end of the day.

The tournament consists of three different levels suitable for NHL 24 players of all levels:

Beginner (Aloittelija) - players who have never participated in tournaments and want to have their first experience of team play.

Experienced (Kokenut) - a team, or most of the team's players, have played competitively before.

Professional (Ammattilainen) - the team plays at the highest levels of SportsGamer or EA Sports.

While players are free to join from outside of Finland, the finals for each of the three levels will be played live and participants will be expected to appear on location.
