Runs from July 30 to August 6.

It looks like anyone with NHL 15 on new systems can participate.

So, if I have the NHL 15 game on EA Access, does that count as owning it if it's downloaded?
Yes, you will have access to the beta. It is supposed to show up in the NHL 15 game menu. It will be about a 5gb download.

Apologies if this was already discussed, but I find this to be GREAT news:

Is there player progression in EASHL?

What we learned through research and fan feedback is that fans wanted an even playing field so that team and player skill would be the determining factor in who wins hockey games. With the new EASHL, we’re removing the progression grind, which many of you told us created an unbalanced online experience, in favor of a new player class system. You now choose to play as specialized player classes that have their own strengths and weaknesses. Player skill and your ability to play as a team will now be the determining factor in who wins and loses hockey games.

Yeah, assuming EA doesn't **** it up and forgo private rooms during the beta.

Also, since it appears there's no custom sweaters for EASHL this year, we should give some thought to what team's we should use. Maybe just scour the available post-release, but could consider a couple in advance.

So no more progrssion in OTP.

How about OTP without the EASHL so you can just use NHL players and switch during games?

I'm not certain, since I never tried the mode in 15, but I believe that mode was added in one of the early updates to 15 Next Gen.

If they really don't have custom logos then maybe Baie-Comeau Drakkar from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League?
