← 2018–19

The 2019–20 Euro Hockey Tour was the second season of the six-team Euro Hockey Tour (EHT) format, first implemented in the 2018–19 season.[1] It was played over four tournaments: a four nation tournament in Finland, a five nation tournament in Russia, a four nation tournament in Germany, and concluded with a six nation tournament in Sweden. The women's national teams from the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Japan, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland participated in at least one tournament; Finland was the only national team to participate in all four tournaments.

The boycott staged by the players of the Swedish women's national team (Damkronorna) against the Swedish Ice Hockey Association (SIF) concerning, among other issues, player treatment and team conditions, necessitated adjustments in two of the EHT tournaments in the 2019–20 season.[2] The Swedish players announced the boycott on 14 August 2019, days before they were scheduled to compete in the first Euro Hockey Tour tournament of the season, and quick reshuffling of the tournament was required.[3] The boycott was ended on 14 October 2019, when the players' union and the SIF agreed to new terms and conditions for the national team, principally concerning compensation for lost earnings while participating in national team training and competition and a guarantee of full insurance coverage for any injuries sustained while playing with Damkronorna, among others.[4] The team's much delayed training camp was held during 4–8 November 2019 and the conflicting dates caused the Swedes to cancel their participation in the EHT tournament in Dmitrov held during 6–10 November 2019.[5] The Swedish national team appeared in the remaining two tournaments as scheduled.

Four Nations Tournament in Vierumäki[]

The 2019–20 season began with a Euro Hockey Tour tournament in Vierumäki (Finnish: Euro Hockey Tour -turnaus, Vierumäki), a four nations tournament (also stylized as "4 nations tournament") featuring the national teams from the Czech Republic, Finland, Japan, and Russia. It was principally played in Vierumäki, Finland, with single matches being played in Kerava, and Mikkeli, during 18–24 August 2019. Sweden cancelled its participation in the tournament due to the ongoing boycott of the national team players.[3] Finland swept the tournament to claim a decisive victory for the host nation.
