The MySports League is the third highest ice hockey league in Switzerland after the National League and the Swiss League . It is also the highest amateur league.
history
On January 15, 2016, the delegates of the young and amateur sport of Swiss Ice Hockey decided to implement the “Super Regio League” project. The new league was to become the first national amateur league in Switzerland. Since many 1st division clubs could not imagine a national game operation, the idea was discussed controversially. The future participants in the “Swiss Regio League”, as the project was henceforth called, were required to meet requirements in the areas of order and security, infrastructure and young talent. From all applicants, the four best athletic candidates of the three groups (Western Switzerland, Central Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland) received their doctorate for the 2017/18 premiere season. The newly founded TV channel MySports was the name sponsor for the new league . From the 2017/18 season onwards, he had also secured the TV rights for the National League and the Swiss League.

The 12 teams play two double rounds of 22 games each. In addition, there are 10 additional encounters per team against 5 opponents, which are determined based on a regional division (east, west). In total, each team plays 32 qualifying games. Then the best eight teams determine the amateur Swiss champions in playoff style. The quarter-finals and semi-finals as well as the final are played according to the best-of-five mode .
After qualifying, the teams in positions nine to twelve play in a simple round-trip round for relegation. The points from the qualification will be taken. The team ranked last in the play-outs is relegated directly to the first division.
