The Asterian Hockey League (AHL) is a professional ice hockey league in Asteria Superior, currently comprising 38 teams: 8 in Cassier and Rizealand, 7 in Chistovodia, 6 in Eldmark and the Asterian Federative Republic, and 1 in Vinalia, Vanhar, and Choachua. The AHL is considered to be the premier professional ice hockey league in the world, and one of the major professional sports leagues within the Asterias. The Albert Cup is awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season.

The Asterian Hockey League was founded on November 26, 1917 as the Cassien Hockey League (Gaullican: Ligue de Hockey Cassien) (LHC), in Sainte-Marie, Monbec. It was officially rebranded to the Asterian Hockey League in 1920, following the addition of two Rizean teams to the league. More teams would be added to the league over the course of several major mergers and expansions, eventually reaching its current size of 38 teams across 8 different countries. The AHL is the [#th] largest professional sport league in the world by revenue, behind [other leagues].

The AHL's regular season is typically held from October to May, with each team playing 82 games. Following the conclusion of the regular season, 20 teams will advance to the Albert Cup playoffs, a five-round tournament that runs into late June to determine the league champion. Since the league's founding in 1917, the Sainte-Marie Habitants have won the most combined AHL titles with 26, four of which were championship series before the league took full exclusivity of the cup. The reigning league champions are the Eldmark, who defeated the Rizealand team in the 2023 Albert Cup Finals.

The organization established itself as Cassier's primary hockey league, with four teams representing the four most populated cities in western Cassier. Three years after its founding the LHC became the primary sports organization that competed for the Albert Cup, a trophy named in honour of Gaullican King Albert III, which was first awarded in 1893. The LHC underwent major changes in 1920 with the introduction of three new teams from Rizealand and Chistovodia into the league. Having established a presence internationally, the LHC was renamed to the Asterian Hockey League.

 ==History==
 ===Establishment===
-The Asterian Hockey League was established in 1920 as the successor organization of the various hockey leagues that existed in Asteria Superior in the early 20th century. The oldest of these leagues was the Cassien Hockey Association (AHC), which was founded in 1909 and was one of the first professional ice hockey leagues. The AHC consisted of eight teams from western Cassier; including the Sainte-Marie Habitants and the predecessor organizations of the Monbec Axes, New Rayenne Gouverneurs, and Andade Olympiques; and played for a total of nine seasons. While the AHC was the most successful professional sports league in Cassier disagreements regarding rules and monetary concerns due to the ongoing [[Great Collapse]] resulted in a schism amongst players and team owners. These disputes culimated in the creation Cassien Hockey League (LHC) in 1917. Though short-lived, the LHC established many of the standards found in the modern Asterian Hockey League, perhaps the most notable of which being formalization of the Albert Cup as the championship trophy of the league. The LHC consisted of four (later five following the entrance of the Bellevue Ours in 1919) teams that played both against each other and against visitors from [[Rizealand]].
+* Roots in Cassier and LHC years
+* Introduction of Rizean teams and the [[Great War]]
-Series between LHC against Rizean from  proved to be incredibly popular and profitable, motivating the league to establish a permanant presence in other countries in Asteria Superior. By June of 1920 the Cassien Hockey League acquired two teams in Rizealand; the Belltown Gliders and Liberty City Comets. In recognition of its expansion into Rizealand, rebranded itself into the Asterian Hockey League, beginning its inaugural season in December that year.
+===Early Years===
+* Exclusively Cassien and Rizean teams until 1970
+* Expansion into Eldmark, 1970s and 80s
-===Expansion===
+===Expansion Era===
-The Asterian Hockey League would consist of these "Original Eight" teams for the next 17 years. Although several proposals were made during the 1920s that sought to expand the league, the ongoing Great Collapse, followed by the onset of the [[Great War]] in 1927 prevented the AHL from growing. The AHL was forced to suspend play between Cassien teams and their Rizean counterparts between 1930 and 1935. Despite the war, the league continued its operations domestically, with five Cassien teams competing against each other for the Albert Cup.
+* The Chistovodia deal
+* The '92 Expansion into the AFR
+* Introduction of Vinalia, Vanhar, and Choachua
