The Liga Mexicana Elite de Hockey (LMEH) is a semi-professional league in Mexico that was founded for the 2017-18 season. The league was created with the objective of having the best players in the country compete against each other. Four teams joined the league for its inaugural season - Teotihuacan Priests, Mayan Astronomers, Aztec Eagle Warriors, and Olmec Stone Heads.
The Senior National Hockey League (SNHL; also referred to as the Sunday Night Hockey League) is the senior men's competition in Mexico. It is divided into four divisions, featuring a total of 27 teams, and promotion and relegation exists between the divisions. All games are played at the Ice Dome CDMX. The league features summer and winter seasons.
The Liga Mexicana Élite served as the national ice hockey league in Mexico during the 2010-11 season. There was also a Campeonato Metropolitano contested that year.
Prior to the formation of the league, the Mexican National Championship was held from 1989-2010. The 2012-2015 seasons featured a league known as the Liga Mexicana. The SNHL began play for the 2014-15 season.
