The '''Vœyetska Hockey League''' (Vœyetskan: ''Vœyetska Höðar Læd'' Denzali: ''Voteska hockei Iede'' French: ''Championnat d'Vojede de hockey sur glace'' Estovian: ''Viimtdrija jäähokjīgo'') is an international {{wp|ice hockey|Ice hockey}} league primarily located in [[Vœyetska]]. The league consists of 48 teams from 4 countries—37 in Vœyetska, 6 in [[Denzal]], 4 in [[Sateroc]], and 2 in [[Estovia]]. The VHL is one of the most popular leagues in Euronia and one of the top leagues in the world in terms of revenue. Teams in the league annually compete for the [[Lindbeck Köp]] which was donated by former Vœyetskan [[Vœyetska|Prime Minister]] [[Vœyetska|Nils Lindbeck]] to the [[Vœyetska Ishöðarforantið]].


Preceding the founding of the Vœyetska Hockey League, the top leagues of Vœyetska were the Vœyetska Ishöðarforantið and the [[Allsvœyet]]. The Vœyetska Ishöðarforantið (VI) was founded in 1920 with 6 teams in its original season, all based in Vœyetska. The VI helped popularize the sport in the nation, especially among the youth. The Allsvœyet was founded in 1936 with 6 teams as well to contest the VI. By the time, the VI had shrunk down to 5 teams. By the early 1940s, the Allsvœyet was generally more popular than its rival because of its wider range of locations. The Allsvœyet also became the first ever league based in Vœyetska to be consistently broadcast on live television. In 1957 the leagues merged into one to spread the sport around the nation as well as economic benefits.
Since the merger of the leagues, the VHL headquarters have been located on the western side of [[Vœyetska|Koarsalburg]]. Formerly, the VI was based in [[Vœyetska|Sjédal]] and the Allsvœyet headquarters was located outside of [[Vœyetska|Alikan]].
The [[Vœyetska|Lehkinsi Jokers]] have won the Lindbeck Köp most times with 12 VHL titles since entering the league. The [[Vœyetska|Groblaa Walleye]] were the most recent champions, who defeated the [[Vœyetska|Filipsvinn Cosmos]] in the [[2023 VHL Finals|2022-23 season finals]].
==History==
<!--The sport of {{wp|Ice Hockey|ice hockey}} slowly developed through history based on stick and ball games that eventually found its way to frozen lakes and rivers. In the mid 1870s the game's first official rules were published in modern-day [[Saint Offeat]] and the first official ice hockey game was played in [[Vogoci]] soon after. The sport gradually gained success in the area while the rules began evolving into the type of hockey the world knows today.-->
Following the transformation of Vœyetska going from the [[Unified Kingdom of Vœyetska]] to the [[Vœyetska|Kingdom of Vœyetska]] and nearing the turn of the century, Vœyetska witnessed an sudden climb in population mainly composed of immigrants. A fraction of those immigrants coming to  Vœyetska from 1888 to 1910 happened to be from where it is now present-day [[Saint Offeat]]. By 1900, Saint Offeatians had spread across the country and brought their tradition of {{wp|Ice hockey|ice hockey}} with them. In the next five years, some of the wealthier immigrants began operating outdoor ice rinks in the winter months. The fast-paced game was well-liked by young Vœyetskans and appealed to many as an engaging pass-time well suited for the colder weather. Ice hockey became increasingly common and by 1910 Vœyetska's capital city, [[Sjédal]] had 6 outdoor rinks in full operation as well as 2 indoor rinks used for hosting small hockey tournaments for both the youth and adults. The country's first organized team, the [[Helmersburg Stallions]], was founded in 1907 by former hockey player [[Carlo Francis]]. Francis' family was of Saint Offeatean descent. The first league in Vœyetska came only a year later with the founding of the [[Sverje Læd]], consisting of teams exclusively in Sverje. The league's inaugural team were the [[Sjédal Monarchs]], [[Sjédal Bulldogs]], [[Alvköping Kodiaks]], and the [[Veskallås Mustangs]]. The league initially found success but the teams found great difficulty recruiting skillful players and having them consistently participate in games. Of the 24 games in the first season 12 of them were either postponed or canceled due to both weather conditions and a lack of participants. Each of the league's teams had at least 7 players—3 {{wp|Forward (ice hockey)|forwards}}, 2 {{wp|Defenceman|defencemen}}, a {{wp|Rover (ice hockey)|rover}}, and a {{wp|Goaltender|goaltender}} with a few extra players serving as substitutes for when players were unfit to play. The Alvköping Kodiaks became the first champions of the league following the opening season.
<!--In late 1911, the president of the Sverje Læd, [[Albin Kjellsson]]-->

The Vœyetska Hockey League (Vœyetskan: Vœyetska Höðar Læd Denzali: Voteska hockei Iede French: Championnat d'Vojede de hockey sur glace Estovian: Viimtdrija jäähokjīgo) is an international Ice hockey league primarily located in Vœyetska. The league consists of 48 teams from 4 countries—37 in Vœyetska, 6 in Denzal, 4 in Sateroc, and 2 in Estovia. The VHL is one of the most popular leagues in Euronia and one of the top leagues in the world in terms of revenue. Teams in the league annually compete for the Lindbeck Köp which was donated by former Vœyetskan Prime Minister Nils Lindbeck to the Vœyetska Ishöðarforantið.

Preceding the founding of the Vœyetska Hockey League, the top leagues of Vœyetska were the Vœyetska Ishöðarforantið and the Allsvœyet. The Vœyetska Ishöðarforantið (VI) was founded in 1920 with 6 teams in its original season, all based in Vœyetska. The VI helped popularize the sport in the nation, especially among the youth. The Allsvœyet was founded in 1936 with 6 teams as well to contest the VI. By the time, the VI had shrunk down to 5 teams. By the early 1940s, the Allsvœyet was generally more popular than its rival because of its wider range of locations. The Allsvœyet also became the first ever league based in Vœyetska to be consistently broadcast on live television. In 1957 the leagues merged into one to spread the sport around the nation as well as economic benefits.

Since the merger of the leagues, the VHL headquarters have been located on the western side of Koarsalburg. Formerly, the VI was based in Sjédal and the Allsvœyet headquarters was located outside of Alikan.

The Lehkinsi Jokers have won the Lindbeck Köp most times with 12 VHL titles since entering the league. The Groblaa Walleye were the most recent champions, who defeated the Filipsvinn Cosmos in the 2022-23 season finals.

History

Following the transformation of Vœyetska going from the Unified Kingdom of Vœyetska to the Kingdom of Vœyetska and nearing the turn of the century, Vœyetska witnessed an sudden climb in population mainly composed of immigrants. A fraction of those immigrants coming to Vœyetska from 1888 to 1910 happened to be from where it is now present-day Saint Offeat. By 1900, Saint Offeatians had spread across the country and brought their tradition of ice hockey with them. In the next five years, some of the wealthier immigrants began operating outdoor ice rinks in the winter months. The fast-paced game was well-liked by young Vœyetskans and appealed to many as an engaging pass-time well suited for the colder weather. Ice hockey became increasingly common and by 1910 Vœyetska's capital city, Sjédal had 6 outdoor rinks in full operation as well as 2 indoor rinks used for hosting small hockey tournaments for both the youth and adults. The country's first organized team, the Helmersburg Stallions, was founded in 1907 by former hockey player Carlo Francis. Francis' family was of Saint Offeatean descent. The first league in Vœyetska came only a year later with the founding of the Sverje Læd, consisting of teams exclusively in Sverje. The league's inaugural team were the Sjédal Monarchs, Sjédal Bulldogs, Alvköping Kodiaks, and the Veskallås Mustangs. The league initially found success but the teams found great difficulty recruiting skillful players and having them consistently participate in games. Of the 24 games in the first season 12 of them were either postponed or canceled due to both weather conditions and a lack of participants. Each of the league's teams had at least 7 players—3 forwards, 2 defencemen, a rover, and a goaltender with a few extra players serving as substitutes for when players were unfit to play. The Alvköping Kodiaks became the first champions of the league following the opening season.
