The All-Russian Hockey League (VHL) (Russian: Всероссийская хоккейная лига (ВХЛ), Vserossiyskaya hokkeinaya liga (VHL)), also known as the Supreme Hockey League, Major Hockey League or Higher Hockey League (HHL) (Russian: Высшая хоккейная лига, Vysshaya hokkeinaya liga), is a professional ice hockey league in Eurasia, and the second highest level of Russian hockey.

As the Kontinental Hockey League, the top tier of Russian ice hockey, is independent from the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia, the VHL's champion is also declared the Champion of Russia.

History

Though currently acting independently, plans were in place to convert it to a farm system for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)'s 2010–11 season. It was preceded by the Major League of the Russian Championship (Vysshaya Liga) that formerly held a relegation role for the Russian Superleague and was governed by the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia. As of the 2022–23 season, most VHL teams were affiliated with a KHL team (e.g., Khimik Voskresensk is affiliated with KHL's Spartak Moscow), while some teams of the VHL are not affiliated with a KHL team.[]

Before the 2022/23 season, the league was renamed from Supreme Hockey League (Russian: Высшая хоккейная лига) to All-Russian Hockey League (Russian: Всероссийская хоккейная лига).

Since the 2024/25 season, when the KHL became independent from the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia, the league's champion is also declared the Champion of Russia.

The Russia VHL (Vysshaya Hokkeinaya Liga) is a prominent professional ice hockey league in Russia, serving as the second tier of Russian ice hockey beneath the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Established in 2010, the VHL features a highly competitive environment with teams from across Russia and some international clubs, showcasing talented players aspiring to reach the top levels of professional hockey. The league emphasizes skill development, strategic gameplay, and fostering local hockey talent. Throughout the season, teams compete in a rigorous schedule, culminating in playoffs that determine the VHL champion. The Russia VHL is renowned for its passionate fan base, intense rivalries, and its role in nurturing future stars of Russian and international ice hockey.
