Last season’s semi-finalists, HC Izvidac from Bosnia and Herzegovina, are once again aiming for the trophy, while Czech club HCB Karvina have returned to the quarter-finals after failing to qualify in the previous two seasons.
Romanian side ACS HC Buzau 2012 are in their maiden European season, but have already shown great determination after overcoming a deficit during the weekend to clinch a victory and a quarter-final berth.
