History
Hockey was first played in Iceland at around 1950, on ponds and rivers. The weather made it very hard to play, so Icelandic hockey did not develop for some time. In 1987 the first ice arena was made, allowing for artificial ice. Another one was made three years later. The first indoor arena was built in 1997, and other one was built in 2000.The league was formed in 1991, with three teams. The league starts usually in the beginning of October and ends in March/April.
