Format Changes※
The EHL board has decided not to continue with the field goal equals two trial, used last season, so this season every goal will return to equaling one whether it comes from the field. Or a penalty corner. Due to the overcrowded international hockey calendar from 2019 onwards. Because of the 2019 Men's FIH Pro League, the EHL has combined the KO16 and "FINAL4 events at Easter," making six-day event from April 17 to 22, "2019."
