1950-51 Maakuntasarja season
The 1950-51 Maakuntasarja season was contested as the third tier of Finnish hockey. The league was divided into eight groups, the winners qualifying for promotion to the Suomi-sarja.
Suomi-Sarja Qualification
Before the start of the season, Finnish Workers' Sports Federation teams competed in qualifiers to decide who would compete in the Suomi-sarja.
