The Eastern Belisarian Hockey League (Ludic: Восточная Велисарийская Хоккейная Лига; Vostochnaya Velisariyskaya Khokkeynaya Liga; VVHL) is an international professional ice hockey league. The VVHL is comprised of 30 teams distributed across six countries in Eastern Belisaria and some limited expansion into Ochran. The league is the premier ice hockey organization in its geographical boundaries and draws both audiences and talent from a greater international reach.
The VVHL was founded in 1968 through a merger of the Ludvosiyan Elite Hockey League and the Veliko National League with an initial roster of five teams. The league has subsequently undergone waves of expansion in 1974, 1983, 1997, and 2010 to arrive at its current number of 30 teams.
