The Ionite Hockey League is a professional ice hockey league that is comprised of 30 member clubs all based in Ionland. It is regarded as the premier hockey league in . It was founded in 1912 when the original five clubs' owners formed an official league for competing with each other. Since then it has grown exponentially to thirty teams by 1996 and by 2018 four more clubs are planned. The league championship is named the Duke Zielinski Cup, which is named after Mieczysław Zielinski, the Duke of Seoldansk, whom originally funded the new league in 1912.
The league is separated into two sub-leagues, the King's League and the Queen's League. Both sub-leagues contain 15 teams and hold their own championships. The King's League teams compete for the Korona Króla, a golden crown that was owned by Krol Tadeusz and the Queen's League teams compete for the Królowej Korony, a golden crown that was owned by Krol Tadeusz's wife, Królowa Kinga. The winner of both crowns face each other for the Zielinski Cup.
