Jääland-Liiga was the elite ice hockey league of Jääland and had 10 teams with the league having two MHL cup spots. The Jääland-Liiga operated MHL rules unlike the other major Apollonian ice hockey League, the ICHL. The league, as well as the Freelandzka Hokej Ekstra Liga, was considered a major development league for hockey players until they were ready to be in the ICHL. It disbanded when Jääland fell into disarray during The Troubles in 1707 AN.
League structure
Teams played each other 6 times (3 x home, 3 x away), making for a 60-game regular season. Three points were awarded for a regulation win, two for overtime and one for an overtime or penalty shootout defeat. Overtime consisted of five minutes of three-on-three hockey and ended immediately if a goal is scored. The team that had most points at the end of the regular season would be declared champion of the league.
The Playoffs were contested by the teams with the best regular-season records. The winner was crowned the champion of the Jääland Championship. The top eight teams of the regular season qualified for the quarter-finals, with their league position determining their seeding. All quarter-finals were two-legged ties. Both the semi-finals and the final took place over a single weekend in March at the Red Bear Centre in Hellistelli.
Players
Despite being the national sport of the country, the league struggled to maintain teams which fully contains homegrown players due to the top talent in the country being drafted into the ICHL each year. Thus, players imported from leagues such as the AEHL were common. Because of the number of imports, the style of hockey was similar to the one found in Floria. The number of imports and homegrown players in the league were split around half each. The league provided the majority of players for the MHL World Championships.
