The Turkish Ice Hockey Super League (Turkish: Türkiye Buz Hokeyi Süper Ligi; TBHSL for short) is the top level of ice hockey in Turkey. It was created in 1993 and is under the jurisdiction of the Turkish Ice Hockey Federation, member of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Unlike the National Hockey League, the Super League is not divided into conferences; teams compete in a single division. The league currently consists of six teams, from two cities.

History[]

The Bel-Pa Ice Rink hosted the first match ever played in compliance with the IIHF rules and regulations, at the end of 1989 between Ankara Tarım Kredi Spor and Istanbul Paten Kulübü teams.

As of January 1990, ice hockey in Turkey was operated under the jurisdiction of the Turkish Ski Federation, and the first official championship ever was organized among two teams from Ankara and two from Istanbul. Ankara Büyükşehir Belediyesi, Istanbul Paten Kulübü, Ankara Atatürk Buz Hokeyi Takımı and İstanbul Boğaziçi Patinaj Klübü has participated to the championship and B.B. Ankara SK became the champion.

The rising interest in ice hockey effected the increasing number of players and then the teams. The Turkish Ice Hockey Federation was founded in 1991. Rino Ouellette, a Canadian diplomat in Ankara, who coached two teams consecutively, contributed much to the development of ice hockey sport in Turkey. A tournament, organized in 1992, laid the ground stone for the establishment of Turkey's first ice hockey league in 1993.

The league was created in 1993 in order to foster competition among the various Turkish clubs that existed but were without a league. It was the descendant of a tournament held in 1992.

Büyükşehir Belediyesi Ankara Spor Kulübü is the most crowned team of the league, with seven titles. Polis Akademisi ve Koleji follows with six titles.
