Jääland-Liiga is the proposed elite ice hockey league of Jääland and is planned to have 10 teams with the league having two MHL cup spots. The Jääland-Liiga operates MHL rules unlike the other major Apollonian ice hockey League, the ICHL.

League structure

Teams will play each other 6 times (3 x home, 3 x away), making for a 60-game regular season. Three points will be awarded for a regulation win,two for an overtime and one for an overtime or penalty shootout defeat. Overtime will consist of five minutes of three-on-three hockey and end immediately if a goal is scored. The team that has most points at the end of the regular season will be declared champion.

The Playoffs are contested by the teams with the best regular season records. The winner is crowned the champion of the Jääland Championship. The top eight teams of the regular season qualify for the quarter-finals, with their league position determining their seeding. All quarter-finals are two-legged ties. Both the semi-finals and the final take place over a single weekend in March at the Red Bear Centre in Hellistelli.
