McPsychoville Ice Hockey League
The McPsychoville Ice Hockey League is the foremost professional ice hockey league in McPsychoville, and one of the six major professional leagues in the nation. It is comprised of twenty teams, divided into two divisions of ten teams and four conferences of five teams. It was founded in 1958 in the city of Hamilton with a roster of just seven teams, and has grown rapidly since then, the last two teams to join the league joining in 2000, and the 2007/2008 season will mark it's fiftieth anniversary in a ceremony to be held at the final Jay Summers Cup game. Currently, the statutes stipulate that only McPsychovillian born players are allowed to play in the league, players hailing from other nations being allowed to play in the lower and the junior leagues but no higher - this has resulted in a lot of resentment, and it is believed that the rules will soon be changed to reflected the higher international demand.
