The following is taken from the IIHF media release re next seasons competiition
:Invited to the EHL will be in principle the National champions and where the representation in the League is expanded to 2 or 3 clubs, the runner-up and/or other clubs appointed according to the rules of the National Associations, to be approved by the EHL Executive Board
From which I assume it is upto the individual National Associations to put forward the names of their national champions and if the IIHF dont like the nomination they have the right of veto!
