We have played only couple of nights with loan players per year on sunday because too many players can't play. We have played maybe once or twice on weekend an EHL game but cant remember us playing any ECL game on weekend during all these years. I would probably have to reschedule all sunday games, thats why I am against it.

No sundays please. This tournament has worked all these years with mon,wed,thu defaults. No weekends. Why change it when it works. Those who can play on sundays have rescheduled game days on sundays already. Why force this change for all teams. Change to mon,tue,thu rather than sunday if you have to have different default days on different divisions.

Horror Hockey (former Kattiautomaatti) looking for a active allround forward (C/LW/RW), handness does not matter. Game time promised for both EASHL and ECL. You will play atleast 75% of games, so we are not looking for a backup player. You need to speak English or Finnish, nationality does not matter. Contact me here or via PSN: Slaivone Edit: Player found

Thank you NHLGamer staff for making this tournament possible. You can get a lot of negative feedback because any decision you make there will be someone in this large community who disagrees with you, it's impossible to please everyone. People will complain easily without actually offering a better solution and will also easily forget to thank you when they are happy with what you have done. I believe the large silent group of this community is happy. Don't mind the negative feedback too much and of course sometimes negative feedback is constructive/valuable too. ECL is important part of many community member's free time, including me. Playing EASHL wouldn't mean much without the ECL, so thank you staff for making my free time better!

Went to Carlsberg HC..

I believe everyone wants to see games played and not WOs. But I also believe majority of players wants the deadlines to hold and be respected.. even if WOs are required to achieve that. We learned from last year we need to finish the tournament before christmas and that's why there are deadlines. I have read all the messages here and based on that I think the problem in this case was that LA recieved the information about scheduling problem too late and they didn't recieve all the information about this case before their decision. And maybe teams scheduling games were too confident that they will get that extra day if needed. If LA would have been contacted earlier with all the important information about this case, maybe there would had been one extra day for semifinals to be played who knows. Too bad there had to be WOs. I would have wanted to see the games played. But I am also happy LA respected the deadline. Not easy decision to make for LA. Good luck to final teams and good luck to SKY for next season.

How can you be so arrogant?

Yes, this would be a huge problem if there are new teams that should be playing in Pro and are ready to compete for promotion to Elite and they would be placed in Lite. These teams would play in Lite playoffs against Lite teams that are ready to play in Pro but not in Elite yet. It would require to have Elite-ready team in Lite to get promotion to Pro. And Pro-ready Lite teams would be stuck in Lite. There are so many teams in Pro and Lite divisions, maybe there should be more promotion/relegation series between Lite/Pro after Lite playoffs? If the top teams of Lite are at higher level than bottom of Pro as it has been said here. Then it would be fair to give them the series and let them prove they belong to Pro. For example if we would say top 8 teams of Lite are better than bottom 8 teams of Pro. And there would be only 4 promotions/relegations Lite/Pro. Lite #5-8 would be back in Lite because they did not win Pro-ready Lite team in playoffs but they got no chance to prove they are better than bottom 8 of Pro. What if Lite #1-2 playoff finalists got promotion to Pro. And last team of both groups of Pro #31-32 relegation to Lite. Rest of Lite quaterfinalist teams #3-8 should have relegation/promotion series against Pro teams #25-30?

You say it is an easy promotion for a team that thinks they are good enough to skip lite. At the same time you say that the top teams of Lite are good enough to skip Lite next season but they did not succeed on that 'easy promotion'. It's not a slap to their face if they do not get free pass to Pro, which they did not deserve by playing. They should take responsibility for their performance last season and prove they belong to Pro and get that promotion by playing. Open Pro spots should be open by application for everyone, new or old team. Team that finished strong in Lite last season would still have pretty good chances to get a spot.

There are spots open in Pro that needs to be filled. To fill these spots some teams need to skip a division. So there is no point discussing is it fair that a team will skip a division, some teams must do this. Does a Lite team deserve that open spot after they have failed to get a promotion to Pro by playing in Lite? In this case they would be skipping a division too. Because they didn't deserve it by playing. I don't think that Lite team would deserve the open Pro spot any more than a new team. That's why every team should be able to make an application for open Pro spots. If you want to make it easier for teams in Lite to get in Pro division by playing, simply increace the amount of relegations in Pro and promotions in Lite in ECL seasons. Lite teams must prove they can get to Pro by playing. Just like Pro and Elite teams/players have been doing over the years. If Elite/Pro players form a new team, they would deserve to try get that open spot in Pro by application, those players have proven them over the years, it's not a shortcut.

Our long time defenseman Isumppi90I wanted some new challenges and joined our swedish xbox rival Sjukstugan. We hope for succesful season in Elite for 112 and Sumppi. Our team captains wasted no time and started to look for replacement and we did get one pretty fast. We welcome back our former teammate eyebiz who can play both LD and RD. eyebiz played with us on xbox before and is really good fit to our roster with his defensive style of play. Updated roster: Forwards: BiiAiiDii LW/RW/C/LD/RD janbonator (A) C jnmxx RW/RD xMaick82x LW Defence: eyebiz LD/RD KungOrne LD Slaivone (C) RD Goalie: hoiggaa (A) G

Kattiautomaatti is going to play in the Elite division next season and we have made some changes in our roster. We welcome new member janbonator to our team. janbonator is very skilled forward and active player who can play multiple positions, nice add to our roster. Unfortunately at the same time we have to let go some of our players. We want to thank and wish all the best in the future for KenuFHR, keppikepu, XXToniKroos8Xx and OveikkoO.

Hello, I hope I am not too late to discuss divisions. I spent some time reading all the comments here and think about this, these are my toughts. First division 3 amateur: I don't think 3 divisions will stop teams falling apart, drama is always there in this league as in life. And it does not stop teams from quitting before the tournament ends. It might even engourage to that in div3. All of the teams aim to go in div2? Think about teams that have worked for months to get in div2 from div3 and if they think in the middle of the tournament they won't make it. So much furstration, try next time in 3 months to play in the division they want to play? Why even try to finish? What they have to lose in div3 they dont even want to play in? I think there will be highest amount of quits in div3 that has ever been in a tournament. Who wants that? Let's be honest here, nobody wants to play in div3 and I think that is a huge problem as we can't stop the drama in teams. New teams will always come and go. Why punish them? Why is a new team so bad thing, if they want to make a new team let them. Why kill their ECL dreams by putting them in div3, where nobody wants. It will be really hard to create a new team if you have to start from div3, who wants to go play there if you have option to go in higher div as free agent. Divisions will create more drama in teams because now when some teams players want to go different ways, there will be fights who keeps the team in higher div, who has to go free agency and who has to create new team in div3, which might mean quitting ECL rather than playing in div3. I think every team who wants to play ECL wants to play competitive and play against better teams. If not I think EASHL is the right place for them, not ECL. We should not change ECL to be more pleasant for teams that do not want to play against the best teams. Division 2 pro: I think divisions 2 and 3 should be combined as div2. New teams start always from div2. Teams would be in groups, every season groups would be divided evenly by last season standings. There would be as many groups as needed. For example 30 teams in div2 = 2 groups, 45 teams = 3 groups. Total of 16 best teams from groups would go in the playoffs. After playoffs #1 goes to div1 elite and #16 of elite relegation to div2. #2-4 of div2 would play best of 7 series against elite #13-15 for elite spots for next season. Division 1 elite: It's good to have division 1. #16 straight relegation and #13-15 has to play best of 7 against relegation. I personally play for Kattiautomaatti and we have to play in div2 in next ECL and I think we deserved it. We did not play as good as we should or as good as we can play. We will try to get back in div1 elite playoffs. So I am not playing in div1 and I am not against divisions. I am not playing in div3 amateur but I am still strongly against div3. I only see more cons than pros in it. We can't stop players making new teams and we should not punish players for that. I think it is only bad for this community. Feel free to comment this post.
