GET-ligaen

GET-ligaen

GET-ligaen (English: GET-league) is the premier Norwegian ice hockey league [ [http://www.hockey.no/t2.asp?p=4916 "GET-ligaen" at "Norwegian Ice Hockey Foundation - NIHF"] , Fourth Edition, 2000.] , organised by the Norwegian Ice Hockey Federation. The league was known as 1. divisjon (1st division) until 1990, when it was reorganized and named Eliteserien (Elite league) a name it held until 2004 when cable TV company UPC became main sponsor. UPC Norway changed its name to GET in 2006 and hence the name of the league was also altered.

The league consists of ten teams, mainly from the southeastern part of Norway. Forty-four games are played, and the eight best teams qualify for the playoffs. The league works on the premise of promotion and relegation, so the two teams who placed last must play the top two teams from Division 1 (the league ranked immediately below GET-Liga) for the rights to play in next GET-Liga season.
