Mestis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mestis is the second-highest ice hockey league in Finland.

The league was established in 2000 to replace the first division. Since 2000, Mestis has been the highest hockey league in Finland that can be reached with playing merits only; the SM-liiga was closed (to teams being relegated or promoted) in 2000. After the 2004-05 season, KalPa was promoted to the SM-liiga, and there are plans to re-open the league in the 2006-07 season.

In the 2006-07 season, 12 teams play in Mestis:
