for most EWCC titles won by a single club. The tournament was played in three stages: Round 1, Round 2, and the Finals. Round 1 comprised sixteen national champions, sorted into four groups of four teams each; only the winner of each group progressed. Round 2 comprised eight teams in two groups of four teams each. Each group included two group winners from Round 1 and the national champions from two of the four countries represented in the Finals of the 2012–13 IIHF European Women's Champions Cup, which had received a bye for Round 1. The teams finishing in the top two positions of each group in Round 2 moved on to the Finals. It is likely that “Best Players Selected by the Directorate” were named for each group in all three rounds, based on documents available from other EWCC tournaments, but information about the selections for 2013–14 Groups A–E is apparently lost.

Round 1

Sixteen national champions played in the first round, in four groups of four teams each. All of the first round groups played during 18–20 October 2013. The winner of each group progressed to Round 2.

The Blues were plagued by poor net-minding and, despite out-scoring the three other teams, ended the round with a goal differential of just +1. Victoria Vigilanti was excellent in net for the EHV Sabres, earning the best save percentage of the round, a 92.77, and 2.00 goals against average. Minatsu Murase of AIK Hockey concluded the round with a save percentage less than a tenth of a percentage point behind Vigilanti and a 1.50 goals against average, out performing the Sabres’ goalie by 0.50 GAA.

Canadian goaltender Jillian Marie MacIsaac of Aisulu Almaty was named “Best Goalkeeper” of the group. MacIsaac played every minute of Aisulu’s three matches and made 84 saves on 93 shots on goal, the most shots faced and saves made by any goalie in the group. Swedish defenceman Linnea Hedin of AIK Hockey was named “Best Defenseman.” Sixteen year old Finnish forward Emma Nuutinen was named “Best Forward,” having scored the most goals and the second-most points of any player in the group.
