Plusliga
When we take a look at these rosters, the reigning champions Zaksa Kedzierzyn-Kozle have made just a few changes and we could say that they are favorites to retain championship title. Of course, there are PGE Skra Belchatow and Asseco Resovia RZESZOW, that are always seeking for the highest goals.
Plusliga will feture 16 teams, as the officials of PZPS decided to expand the number of teams for this season. The newcomers are GKS Katowice and Espadon Szczecin.
