Wikipedia - Mestis
Mestis (from Finnish: Mestaruussarja, meaning 'Championship series', stylized as MEST1S) is the second-highest men's ice hockey league in Finland. The league was established by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association in 2000 to replace the I-divisioona ('First Division').
Mestis is the highest league that can be reached through playing merits alone. Being promoted to SM-liiga is only possible if a team's Liiga license application is accepted. Mestis, however, is an open league where relegation and promotion are possible with the 3rd league, Suomi-sarja.
Mestis is also the highest league governed by the FIHA.
History
In the years 2000–2008, it was not practically possible for Mestis teams to get promoted to the SM-liiga, which was closed in 2000, but it was possible to drop down to the Suomi-sarja instead. However, KalPa was promoted to the SM-liiga in the spring of 2005, when the number of teams in the league was increased from 13 to 14 teams. For the 2008–2009 season, the SM-liiga qualifiers were brought back for a few seasons, but in the 2013–2014 season, the qualifiers were removed again. After the elimination of the qualifiers, Sport, KooKoo and Jukurit have been promoted to the SM-liiga through the license system.
Mestis got a new team, HK Zemgale/LLU, from Latvia for the 2022–23 season. HK Zemgale had never played in a Finnish league before and was added to Mestis to bring more entertainment and internationalization to Finnish ice hockey.
According to Mestis themselves, they are talking with other international clubs about joining the Mestis league.
Finland's Mestis is een professionele ijshockeycompetitie, het op een na hoogste niveau in het Finse ijshockey, na de Liiga. De Mestis werd in 2000 opgericht en bestaat uit 14 teams. Het reguliere seizoen loopt van september tot maart, met een play-off structuur die eindigt in de Mestis-finale in april.

De competitie kenmerkt zich door snelle, fysieke en technische ijshockey, met veel jonge talenten en ervaren veteranen.
Enkele van de bekendste clubs in de Mestis zijn:
* Imatran Ketterä
* Kokkolan Hermes
* KeuPa HT
* Rovaniemen Kiekko
