Three new clubs have joined the competition HC UNIZA Zilina (Slovakia) and two polish teams UHT Sabers Oswiecim and Opole HK before this season. First games were played regularly, but the covid influenced the schedule and the league had to be interrupted for a few weeks and we had to follow the current restrictions in the countries of all participations. We continued after this break, however, Opole HK suffered from the coronavirus situation in many ways and unfortunately had to leave the EUHL while all its results were forfeited.
