Season Structure
Each team plays each of the other teams in their league a total of four times; twice home, twice away.
At the end of the regular season, the top 4 from each division enter the playoffs, the quarter finals of which are over two legs. The semi finals are a single match between teams from the same division, and the champions are decided by a single final.
Relegation is decided by two games between top of league two and bottom of league one for each division; winner goes up, loser goes down.
There is also an ENIHL cup with two groups of five teams who play each other team twice. The winners of the two groups play each other in two final games.

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or structure:
“To the American People:MChristmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Savior and over us will shine a star sending its gleam of hope to the world.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
