The thirty-two teams are split into two conferences and in these conferences, both are split into two divisions of 8 teams. Teams play an 84-game season, 42 each of home and away. Teams in the ICHL play sixteen more games than the teams playing in the MEHL. Teams play four games against teams in their division, 3 games against non-divisional conference teams and 2 games against inter-conference teams.
Rules
The Intercontinental Hockey League adopt rules slightly different from the ones set by the MHL. The main differences being a smaller rink (60m by 28m) and operation of overtime in where teams will play one 10 minute period of 3-on-3. If there is no winner after that, a five-shot shootout will commence deciding the winner.
Season Structure
The Intercontinental Hockey League is divided into a regular season and a postseason playoff competition, the Farrar Cup. The league's regular-season standings are based on a point system. Two points are awarded for a win in regulation, overtime or a shootout. One point for losing in overtime or a shootout, and zero points for a loss in regulation. At the end of the regular season, the highest placed team with the most points is given the Presidents Shield.
Entry Draft
The Intercontinental Hockey League operates an Entry Draft each season for clubs to acquire new players. In the draft, all thirty-two franchises in three rounds select from two pools of players, one pool being Florian players and the other 'International' players where players from all MHL member nations are eligible to be entered to, the majority of which are from ICHL countries.
