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. The quarter finals is played in best of seven matches, while the semi finals is played in best of five matches, the final is settled in just one. The final was played in Stockholm Globe Arena until 2010, and as of 2011 the final game is played in Malmö Arena. From 2015 the final is back to Stockholm Globe Arena. The women's Swedish Super League final is played earlier on the same day, in the same arena.
