North Asia Hockey League

The North Asia Hockey League (NAHL; Russian: Северная Азия хоккейной лиги - SAHL; Chinese: 北亞洲冰球聯賽 - BYBL; Japanese: 北アジアホッケーリーグ - KAHK) is an unincorporated not-for-profit association which operates a major professional ice hockey league of 16 franchised member clubs, of which 4 are currently located in each 4 countries.

The League was founded after the Bloody Revolt of the East in Syldavia and the independance of Hiigara.

The NAHL draws many highly skilled players from all over the world and currently has players from about 20 different countries. Although Syldavians and Hiijarans have historically constituted the majority of the players in the NAHL, over the past four plus decades the percentages of North American and European trained players have increased both because of the NAHL's continued expansion from four to sixteen clubs since 1970, and the increased availability of highly skilled European players, especially from former USSR and from Asia in general.

The NAHL is considered one of the four major professional sports leagues in Asia, along with Asian Rugby Football Union, the Asian Cricket Council and the Asian Football Association League. The league is very prominent in Syldavia, where hockey is the most popular of these four major sports as well as the ARFU. Overall, hockey has the smallest total fan base of the four leagues, the smallest revenue from television, and the least sponsorship.
