HISTORY

The Asia League Ice Hockey was formed out an expansion of the Japan Ice Hockey League in 2003-2004, with the remaining four members of the Japan Ice Hockey League playing half a season (16 games) with the Anyang Halla Winia. The addition of non-Japanese teams was deemed such a success that the JIHL was disbanded, and three teams, two Chinese teams and the Golden Amur who played in Khabarovsk , Russia joined for the next season. Though they finished third in the league, financial troubles caused the Golden Amur to withdraw from the league after only a single season.

Two teams joined for the 2005-06 season, Kangwon Land from Gangwon Province in South Korea and the Nordic Vikings of Beijing , China . This brings the number of teams in the league to nine. The Nordic Vikings team consists of young Scadinavian players as well as six players from Qiqihar and Harbin, in an effort to raise the skill levels of those teams.
