Korean Championship

The Korea Domestic Championship has served as the national championship in South Korea since the 1947 season. However, some other competitions have been organized over the years.

The Korean Ice Hockey League began either during the 1994-95 or 1995-96 season (it is unconfirmed whether the 1994-95 season was part of the KIHL or a separate championship) when the first professional teams in the country were founded. The KIHL operated at least through the 2003-04 season, after which the top Korean professional teams joined the Asia League Ice Hockey. The 2004-05 season retained one professional team, Mobile Edge, but it is unknown whether it was part of the KIHL or not. By 2005-06, the only teams playing domestically were university outfits. The winners of the Korean Championship were awarded the Kang-won-do Cup from this point onwards.
