Euro Hockey League returns to action. The second season of the Euro Hockey League – Europe’s elite club hockey tournament for men – begins on Friday in Amsterdam. Twenty-four of Europe’s finest teams will be playing in the first rounds of this pioneering event. Twelve teams will take part in Round 1a at Amsterdam H&BC over the coming weekend, with the other 12 sides heading to Lille in Northern France for Round 1b, which starts on October 31st.
