Swedish Super League (Swedish: Svenska Superligan för herrar; formerly, Elitserien) is the highest league in the league system of Swedish floorball and comprises the top 14 Swedish floorball teams. The first season began in 1995–96. The season ends with a play-off and a final.
History
The Swedish Super League was founded in 1995 under the name Elitserien. It then replaced the Division 1 league as the high level floorball league of Sweden. Between the seasons 1995–96 and 1998–99 the league was divided into a northern and a southern group. Since the 1999–2000 season, it is a national league.
In March 2007, it was decided that the Elitserien will comprise 14 teams from the 2008–09 season.
In May 2007, the name of league was changed from Elitserien to the Swedish Super League.
Mika Kohonen holds the record for points in one season (107 p in 29 games) and also the all-time record for points in the Swedish Super League. He did this in the 2004/05 season of SSL.[1]
Season structure
The season starts with a regular season with 26 matches per team, one home and one away against all teams. In the spring a play-off starts with the eight best teams from the regular season.
