The 2014-15 Elite Ice Hockey League Season is the 12th season of the Elite Ice Hockey League. The regular season begins early September and will end in March.
On 30 April 2014, the Elite League announced changes to the import rules, as from this season (2014–15), the number of non British-trained players will rise from 11 to 12, but the amount of work-permit players will remain at 11. The number of non British-trained players will rise to 13 in season 2015-16 and 14 in season 2016-17, with the amount of work-permit players again remaining at 11.
The EIHL lost some top British players such as Jonathan Weaver and Danny Meyers along with Matt Towe and Sam Zajac to the EPIHL, the first team to take advantage of the rule changes was the Steelers with them announcing the signing of British/Canadian Rod Sarich.
