League position and official name
Campionatul Național de Seniori is the official FRHG name for Romania’s national senior championship. It is separate from the cross-border Erste Liga, although some Romanian clubs may operate across more than one competition.
Verified 2026/27 status
FRHG has published 2026/27 regulations. Eight clubs expressed preliminary intent to participate, but this page does not present that number as a final confirmed field; verify the final schedule and entries with FRHG.
Clubs, roster and eligibility checks
A preliminary entry does not prove participation, a roster vacancy or eligibility. Confirm the final club list, position need, player classification, registration, any foreign-player rules, transfer and competition eligibility directly with the club and FRHG.
Clubs and choosing a target
Target clubs by position, role, level, roster construction and an authorised sporting contact. Participation in the competition does not prove a vacancy. Confirm the club, contact and exact need before sharing documents or paying costs.
What clubs assess
Clubs compare skating pace, decisions under pressure, role, special-teams value, verified recent statistics, full-game video, health, contract status, citizenship and administrative readiness. The application must show value for this specific level.
Recruitment timing and tryouts
A trial, invitation or verbal discussion is not a contract. Confirm who invited the player, dates, evaluation criteria, travel, insurance, accommodation, equipment, expenses and the deadline for a written decision.
Contract, pay and housing
There is no official universal salary table for every club. Put gross or net pay, taxes, payment dates, bonuses, housing, deposit, utilities, meals, travel, equipment, insurance, injury protection, termination and return travel in writing.
Residence and right to work
Immigration and employment rules depend on citizenship and the country where the club is based. A league registration or invitation does not grant entry, residence or work permission; verify the competent national authority before travel or employment.
IIHF transfer, licence and insurance
An international move follows current IIHF transfer rules, but an IIHF transfer does not replace federation registration, competition eligibility, insurance, immigration permission or a valid contract. Confirm responsibility and fees for every step.
Player application package
Send passport and any second citizenship; birth year, position, shot, height and weight; current team; verified statistics; Elite Prospects or federation profile; role-based highlights and a recent full game; contract or release status; health and availability.
