In its past, it has switched several times between being and not being an open league (in reference to allowing foreign teams), but for the 2008\u20132009 season, the Belarus Ice Hockey Federation decided to open the Belarusian Extraleague, the Belarusian Premier League and the Belarusian junior leagues.Before the season 2018-2019 the Belarusian Extraleague was divided in two leagues: Extraleague A with 8 teams and Extraleague B with 9 teams. For the 2021-2022 season, this division into Extraleague A and Extraleague B was canceled, with 12 teams taking part in the single championship.[1]The Extraleague championships for the 2016-2017 season and 2017-2018 season were won by HC Neman GrodnoThe 2019\/2020 Belarusian ice hockey championship was the only championship in the world that was not interrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic.[2]Teams from the BHL can participate in the IIHF’s annual Champions Hockey League (CHL), competing for the European Trophy. Participation is based on the strength of the various leagues in Europe (excluding the European\/Asian Kontinental Hockey League). Going into the 2022\u201323 CHL season, the BHL was ranked the No. 7 league in Europe, allowing them to send their top team to compete in the CHL.Current teams[edit]2022\u201323 season[edit]TeamCityArenaCapacityIce rink sizeAffiliate TeamHK Brest BrestIce Sports Palace2,00060×30HC Brest-2 (Belarus2)HC Viciebsk ViciebskVitebsk Ice Sports Palace\/Ice Sports Palace1,90061×30HC Viciebsk-2 (Belarus2)HC Dynama-Maladzechna MaladzyechnaIce Sports Palace2,197HC Homel’ Homel’Homel’ Ice Sports Palace2,76061\u044530HC Homel’-2 (Belarus2)HK Lida LidaLida Ice Palace1,00060\u044530HC Lida-2 Lida (Belarus2)HC Lakamaty\u016d OrshaIce Sports Palace3,500HC Metalurh Zhlobin ZhlobinIce Palace Metalurh2,01860×30HC Metalurh-2 Zhlobin (Belarus2)HC Mahilyo\u016d Mahilyo\u016dSports Palace Mahilyo\u016d3,04860\u044530HC Mahilyo\u016d-2 (Belarus2)HC Nyoman Hrodna HrodnaHrodna Ice Sports Palace2,55060×30HC Nyoman-2 Hrodna (Belarus2)Khimik Navapolatsk NavapolatskPalace of Sports and Culture1,200HC Khimik-2 Navapolatsk (Belarus2)HC Shakhtsyor Salihorsk SalihorskSports and Entertainment Complex1,75960\u044529HC Dynama-Minsk (KHL)HC Shakhtyor-2 Soligorsk (Belarus2)HC Yunatstva-Minsk Minsk\u010cy\u017eo\u016dka-Arena8,80761×30HC Dynama-Minsk (KHL)Yunior Minsk (Belarus2)Former teams[edit]TeamCityArenaCapacityBelarus U20 Minsk\u010cy\u017eo\u016dka-Arena Practice ice rink473Belarus U18 Ra\u01d4bi\u010dyIndoor ice rink of sport complex Ra\u01d4bi\u010dy300HC Pinskiya Yastraby PinskIce arena of the Universal sports complex Volna598HK Aviator BaranavichyIce Sports Palace2,158HC Babruysk BabruyskBabruysk Arena7,191Dinamo U20 Bobruisk BabruyskBabruysk Arena7,151Dinamo Minsk MinskMinsk Sports Palace3,311Keramin Minsk MinskMinsk Ice Palace1,823Shinnik Bobruisk BabruyskBabruysk Arena7,151Sokil Kyiv Brovary KyivIce Arena TEC TerminalKyiv Palace of Sports1,5007,200Tivali Minsk MinskMinsk Sports Palace3,311Torpedo Minsk MinskUnknown–Triumph Minsk MinskUnknown–Yunior Minsk MinskIce Palace Yunost Minsk767HK Liep\u0101jas Metalurgs Liep\u0101jaIce Arena Liep\u0101jas Metalurgs1,700HK Riga 2000 RigaInbox.lv ledus halle2,000ASK\/Ogre OgreVidzemes Ledus Halle1,880DHK Latgale DaugavpilsDaugavpils Ice Arena1,234Champions by season[edit][edit][edit]Titles by team[edit][edit]TitlesClubYears10Yunost Minsk2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2016, 2019, 2020, 20217HC Neman Grodno1998, 1999, 2001, 2013, 2014, 2017, 20185Tivali Minsk\/HC Dinamo-Minsk*1993, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2007*2Polimir Novopolock1996, 19972Keramin Minsk2002, 20082Metallurg Zhlobin2012, 20221HK Gomel20031HC Shakhtyor Soligorsk2015[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/belarusian-extraleague-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Belarusian Extraleague – Wikipedia"}}]}]
