Italian Hockey League - Serie A, formerly known as Serie A, is the top tier of professional ice hockey in Italy, which first began play in 1925. They are conducted under the authority of the Federazione Italiana Sport del Ghiaccio (FISG). As in the other top-level Italian sports leagues, the winners of the IHL - Serie A will wear the Scudetto the following season. The league's cup is known as the Rbk Hockey Cup to reflect Reebok's sponsorship of the league. The league initially merged with the Inter-National League to become the Alps Hockey League in 2016.[1]


The league was known as Elite.A during the 2013–14 season,[2] and as Italian Hockey League - Elite during the 2017-2018 season.[3]
