I concur with the patience of getting out of the zone rather then rushing it up to the deepest player. If forwards are being covered I find crossing over open up lanes for us that gives us a bit of time to do something with the puck if we retrieve it.

Important Note

When these two clubs were created the intentions were made that the pro team would be the team that challenges the top teams in the EASHL and the casual club would be for players of less competitive nature and working on improving there game. So far the casual club has yet a game to be played, meanwhile the pro club rank continually tanks after a good initial start.

In order for the pro club to be competitive with the top clubs in order to challenge for monthly trophies, we are going to have to treat it as a competitive team and as such have requirements and skills in the players that do play on the pro team. This unfortunately means we will be limiting some players to play in the casual team to improve their game if they strive to play on the pro team. As such, the pro team has been disbanded and we are starting fresh using the casual club for players to fulfill the requirements to play on the team and show they have what it takes to be on the pro team. Since it's basically pre season until the end of the month, consider this month training camp/pre-season.

The requirements that are necessary to be eligible for the pro club is a veteran player card with B/B+ overall grade (still under consideration). You must have a mic for teammates communication. Although you may have those requirements, GMs still have final say on whether you will be promoted to the pro team. Tryout games may be made to examine your play.

If you do make the pro team, there can never be less then 3 players in a game, and do not play two man teams because they don't count. As well if you make the club we encourage that you play at least 5 games within a week unless notice of absence. This is to avoid players from popping in from time to time without weeks of play since that's a casual style of doing games and most likely leave you out of sync with your teammates.

If you do not make the pro team initially, it does not mean your placed there permanently. The purpose of the casual club is to build your game to the level that will allow to challenge EASHL players in the pro league without being out of place and hurting your teammates. If you show good enough improvement in your game, you will be promoted up or could request/given a tryout game.

This is not about picking favorites or keeping players off the team. It's about putting out the best players possible from our site that want to go for the win this year in EASHL. It's a more competitive nature this year for the pro club this year so if this perhaps isn't your thing the casual club is an option still. (and we'll have to play on for now anyway) I'll have an alternative account so I can still play casual games with you guys over the year still.

Everyone should invite themsleves to the casual club: http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/c...1/622/overview
