First round
The first round games took place from September 24th to 26th, 2004. The Romanian Miercurea Ciuc served as the venue for Group A, and the Group B games were played in Zagreb . Of the seven registered teams, however, one did not take part in the competition, which was then replaced by an out-of-competition team.
Group A
In Group A, the Israeli representative Maccabi Amos Lod did not start in the competition. In order to compensate for the loss, those responsible hired the Romanian team from Steaua Bucharest for the tournament. The Bucharest games were not included in the tournament ranking.
Because only three teams had registered for the tournament and one played outside of the rating, advancement in the group was limited to a single game. The host SC Miercurea Ciuc won this clearly with 17: 2 against HK Slawia Sofia .

Super final
The Super Final took place from January 7th to 9th, 2005 in Székesfehérvár , Hungary . Were set Alba Volán Székesfehérvár as host, the Slovak participants HKm Zvolen and the HC Dynamo Moscow of Russia. Moscow had already gained several experiences in the European Cup in previous years and between 1997 and 1999 failed three times in the final of the European Hockey League due to the eventual winner. For Zvolen it was the third appearance ever on an international level. In addition, the winner of the third round, the Italian champions HC Milano Vipers , qualified.
On the first match day, HKm Zvolen and Dynamo Moscow underpinned their favorite position in the Super Final with clear victories over the outsiders from Milan and Székesfehérvár. While Zvolen beat the Italians 6-1, the Muscovites clearly defeated the hosts 8-0. On the following day of the tournament, both teams emerged victorious from their games, although both teams had slight problems and Zvolen only narrowly retained the upper hand 2-1. So on the final day of the match there was a duel between the two so far without a win and the two undefeated clubs. In the only statistical match between Alba Volán Székesfehérvár and HC Milano Vipers, Székesfehérvár was able to secure third place with a close 2: 1. In the final duel, Moscow and Zvolen finally met. The Russians went into the game with the advantage that they had the better goal difference and a draw was enough for them to win the tournament. However, the Slovaks managed to save a 2-1 lead over time. So they won their first European Cup in the club's history, while Moscow was again defeated in a crucial international game.
A total of 19,244 spectators attended the six tournament games.
