Ishockeyligan är den primära farmarligan till National Hockey League (NHL), det vill säga att alla AHL-lag är farmarlag till något lag i NHL. AHL:s slutspel är Calder Cup.

Historik

Ishockeyligan grundades den 4 oktober 1936 när ishockeyligorna Canadian-American Hockey League (Can-Am League) och International Hockey League (IHL) gick ihop och bildade International-American Hockey League. Den 28 juni 1938 meddelades det att Can-Am League och IHL skulle bli en enda ishockeyliga och en fusion mellan de två genomfördes.
