The ice hockey league was the third highest division in German ice hockey in the 2016/17 season . As in the previous year, it was organized by the German Ice Hockey Federation (DEB) in two regional groups, North and South . The season started on September 23 (Oberliga Nord) and 30 September 2016 (Oberliga Süd). At the end of the season, the two leagues played a promoted player in the DEL2 in joint play-offs . With the Tilburg Trappers in Group North, a Dutch club continued to take part in the league.

Oberliga Nord

Attendees

The Oberliga Nord was reduced from 18 to 16 teams. Hamburger SV and FASS Berlin are relegated. On June 21, 2016, EHC Neuwied filed for bankruptcy and therefore left the big league. FASS Berlin therefore remained in the top division.

The following teams take part in the Oberliga Nord:

• ECC Preussen Berlin
• FASS Berlin
• EC Harzer Falken
• Foxes Duisburg
• Black Dragons Erfurt
• Mosquitoes eat
• MEC Hall 04
• Crocodiles Hamburg
• Hanover Indians
• Hanover Scorpions
• Herner EV 2007
• Icefighters Leipzig
• Rostock piranhas
• EHC Timmendorfer Strand 06
• Tilburg Trappers
• ESC Wedemark Scorpions

mode

The 16 teams play a single round (30 game days). In the second round, the teams in places 1 to 8 play another single round (14 game days) taking the points with them. From this round the first six teams qualify directly for the play-offs, the teams in positions 7 and 8 play pre-play-offs. The remaining eight teams also play a single round. The first two of this round qualify for the pre-play-offs. The season is over for the teams in third to sixth place. The planned relegation round of the teams in places 7 and 8 with two teams from the regional leagues was canceled because no regionalist wanted to participate and the Hannover Scorpions will no longer participate in the game as a result of the reunification with the ESC Wedemark Scorpions.

The winners of the pre-play-offs qualify for the group-internal elimination play-offs, which are played in best-of-five mode. The four victorious teams qualify for the promotion playoffs to DEL2.

Oberliga Süd

Attendees

The EHC Bayreuth rose to the DEL2. The relegated from the DEL2, the Heilbronner Falken, remained due to the rise of the Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven in the DEL , as the first successor in the DEL2. The EHC Klostersee withdrew from the league. Due to the otherwise small number of participants, DEB and BEV decided in June 2016 to move three clubs from the Bayernliga to the Oberliga Süd. These are the master EHC Waldkraiburg , the Höchstadter EC and the EV Lindau .

This means that 12 teams take part in the league. These are divided into two regional groups:

Group A: Tölzer lions EC Peiting ERC Sonthofen EV Landshut EHC Waldkraiburg (promoted) EV Lindau (promoted)

Group B: EV Regensburg VER Same Deggendorfer SC 1. EV Weiden EHV Schönheide 09 Highest age EC (climber)

mode

A single round is played with an additional 10 games within the regional groups. The main round thus consists of 32 game days. The first eight teams qualify for a championship round, in which another single round is played taking the points with them and are qualified for the first play-off round. The teams in ranks 9 to 12 are dovetailed with the best 8 teams in the Bayern League and play a single round in two groups and then a play-off round, which is organized by the BEV . The four semi-finalists of this play-off round are athletically qualified for the Oberliga 17/18 . The champions of the Regionalliga Süd / West also qualify for the Oberliga Süd 2017/18. or the champions of the Regionalliga Ost, if due to its geographical location it is more suitable for the Oberliga Süd than for the Oberliga Nord . Clubs or parent clubs of cooperation partners (corporations) that are already participating in the DEL, DEL II or Oberliga in 2016/17 are not qualified.

Toothing round

With the Höchstadter EC, the Lindau Islanders, the Löwen Waldkraiburg and the EHV Schönheide, the last four placed Oberliga-Süd went into relegation for the Oberliga 2017/18, where they competed against the eight strongest teams from the Bayernliga in a dovetailing round . The Höchstadter EC and EHV Schönheide could not qualify for the Oberliga and are thus relegated to the Bayernliga and Regionalliga Ost.
