National League A (NLA) is a professional ice hockey league in Switzerland. It is the top tier of the Swiss league system and of the two-tier National League. Before the 2007-08 season, the league was officially called Nationalliga A (German, French: Ligue Nationale A (LNA), Italian: Lega Nazionale A)

The league currently consists of 12 teams. The top eight teams after the regular season qualify for the play-offs to determine the Swiss champion in best-of-seven series. The four last teams need to play in a relegation tournament, the so-called play-outs. The loser of the playout-final contends the winner of the National League B play-offs in a best-of-seven series for a spot in the successive NLA season.

History

edit

In the season 1908-1909 was created the National Championship, the Swiss ice hockey tournament. From 1916 to 1937, in addition to the National Championship, which had restriction on the number foreign players, an International Championship, without restricting foreign players, were introduced. The clubs could take part in both championships, but only the titles coming from the National Championship apply for statistics. The National and International Championships disappeared at the end of the season 1936-1937 in favor of the National League Championship.

1937-1938 to 1938-1939: 6 teams, round-robin.

1939-1940 no championship cause WWII.

1954-1955 to 1961-1962: 8 teams, double round-robin.

1962-1963 to 1964-1965: 10 teams, double round-robin.

1965-1966: 10 teams, double round-robin; top 4 qualified for a final stage with double round-robin system.

During the season 1985-1986, the playoff system was introduced with the best-of-three playoff formula: the top four teams qualified for the semifinals. This formula was conserved until the season 1988-1989 in which the top eight teams qualified for the quarterfinals (best-of-3, semi and final best-of-5). The best-of-five formula became the standard during the playoffs from the season 1990-1991 with the exception of the '93 quarterfinals (best-of seven). From the season 1997-1998 up to the present, the playoff format is the best-of seven with the exception of the 2004 playoff finals (best-of-five).
