The European University Hockey League (EUHL) is the first European university league in ice-hockey that was founded in 2013 and it is managed by the EUHA (the European University Hockey Association). The idea to establish a university hockey league in Europe was formed by Jaroslav Straka, who thanks to Lubomir Sekeras, Frantisek Sadecky and Peter Spankovic, allowed the project to come to fruition.

Trophy

The winner of the league is awarded with Sekeráš Championship Trophy, which is named after former Slovak NHL player Ľubomír Sekeráš, who is the co-founder of the league.
