The German Elite League, Deutsche Eishockey Liga (German Ice Hockey League, shortname DEL) is a German professional ice hockey league, which currently has the highest number of American and Canadian players outside of North America. It was formed as a replacement for the Ice hockey Bundesliga and is also known as DEL - Die 1. Bundesliga.
[edit] Rules & RegulationsThe DEL is an independently run league, fully owned and operated by its 16 member teams. Each team must to fulfill the DEL's basic requirements to remain in the league:
The DEL can only admit one 2nd Bundesliga team per season to the league, unless the league strength falls below fourteen, in which case two clubs can be admitted. Since the 2006-07 season, no DEL team can be automatically relegated, a team can only lose its league status through non-compliance with the leagues regulations (see above). From the 2008-09 season, each DEL club will only be allowed to have ten non-EEC players under contract. Currently, the number is set at twelve. The ESBG guarantees to admit any DEL team wishing to step down to the lower 2nd Bundesliga or Oberliga. The team, however, has to purchase a license (licensing fees for the 2nd Bundesliga are currently set at € 100,000.00). To regulate the relationship between the DEL, the DEB and the ESBG (2nd Bundesliga), a so called Kooperationsvertrag exists. This cooperation contract was signed in December 2005., and is valid until 2011. This contract ended years of dispute between the three organizations over competencies and financial issues[1][2]. [edit] Policy ChangesIn November 2007, the DEL announced another change in policy. The league expanded to allow 16 teams beginning in the 2008-09 season, resulting in direct promotion for the 2nd Bundesliga league champions, should they fulfill all requirements and be interested in joining the DEL. Should this not be the case, or a current DEL team resigns from the league, a selection process would determine the club, or clubs, who would be eligible to join in order required to archive 16 teams. Additionally, a new format for the game schedule will limit the number of regular season games to 52 for each team. This is achieved by each team playing four games against eleven others and two games against the remaining four. To determine which teams play which, the final standings of the previous season are used. The DEL will also reintroduce promotion once more. The teams placed 15th and 16th will play a best-of-seven series to determine which team faces the 2nd Bundesliga champion for a place in the league. There is, however, an ongoing dispute about those games as second division teams may only have five foreign players on contract, and therefore face a handicap in comparison to the DEL teams with twelve import players each. [3]. For now, the ESBG has declared that no team from the 2nd Bundesliga would take part in these matches and therefore no promotion/relegation with the DEL will take place[4]. [edit] League championsThe Ice hockey Bundesliga (English:Federal Ice Hockey League) was formed in 1957 as the elite hockey competition in the Federal Republic of Germany, replacing the Oberliga in this position. From the 1994-95 season, it was in turn replaced by the DEL, which now also carries the name 1st Bundesliga in its logo. Unlike the old Bundesliga, the DEL is not under the administration of the DEB. In women's ice hockey, the Bundesliga is still the highest league, divided into a northern and a southern division. [edit] Bundesliga champions

[edit] Deutsche Eishockey Liga[edit] History[edit] EstablishmentThe DEL was founded in the 1994-95 season, made up of teams from the ice hockey Bundesliga's 1st and 2nd division. The condition of this earlier leagues had become intolerable: many of the 1st and 2nd division teams were heavily in debt, while the 2nd division attracted few sponsors and spectators; thus many clubs were forced to fold or withdraw to the lower leagues. For this reason, in the last Bundesliga season 1993-94, only 11 teams wanted to play in the 2nd Bundesliga. Furthermore, two teams folded during the season and after season's end. The goal behind the DEL was to create a league, based on the model of the North American NHL, in which the teams could play consistently without relegation concerns and create a stable league. The constant mismanagement of clubs in the old Bundesliga had tarnished ice hockeys reputation in Germany and made it difficult to attract serious sponsorship. The clubs in the DEL from now on formed their own, financial independent, companies, based largely on a franchise system. Clubs were required to have financial guaranties. [edit] 1994-95: Season OneThe first season 1994-95 started with 18 teams, twelve from the old 1st Bundesliga, six from the 2nd Bundesliga. In the main round the 18 teams played a home-and-away schedule and, in regional groups, a second single round. After this, the play-off round of the last sixteen in the mode best of seven took place . The semi-finals and final were played in the mode best of five. The hope to be able to avoid the troubles of the old Bundesliga by stricter financial controls did not materialise in the first season. EC Hedos München, the Bundesliga's last champion, now renamed Mad Dogs Munich, folded on 18 December 1994. [edit] Founding members of the leagueFrom the Bundesliga:
