Bulistan Hockey League

The Bulistan Hockey League (BHL) was created in 1916. It is the main professional ice hockey league in Bulistan, and it is directed by the BHF (Bulistan Hockey Federation).

The league's first season was in 1916. At that time, only 8 teams participated, and only 1 was relegated. Furthermore, each team played each other once, instead of twice, per season.

The current format, adopted in 1921, has 10 teams competing with 2 being relegated each year, and each team played each other twice (double round robin).

Historically, and especially since the 1920s, the league has been dominated by 3 sides: the Buli Eagles ( x titles), the Talathanrar Pinguins ( x titles), and more particularly the Bulistan City HC ( 5 titles). This domination was especially strong between 1921 and 1927, when only one other team made the top 2: the Goats in 1925.
