Meistriliiga is a professional ice hockey league composed of six teams in Estonia.
History[]
The league was formed for the 1990-91 season. Since 1945-46, Estonian teams had participated in the Estonian SSR Championship. Prior to the country's annexation and incorporation into the Soviet Union, the Estonian Championship had been contested in inter-war Estonia from 1934 to 1940.
Kreenholm/Narva 2000 dominated the league at the outset, winning the first six championships and eight of the first 11. Since winning their first title in 1997, Tartu Kalev-Välk has been the most consistently successful team in the Meistriliiga, having won a total of eight championships. HK Stars claimed four titles in five years from 2005 to 2009.
