The South African Super League was founded in 2015 as the top-level national league in South Africa.
The Super League was established under the guidance of Bob Mancini from USA Hockey and Markus Graf of the Swiss Ice Hockey Association. There was formerly another national league in South Africa that was described as a "5 team televised league" which was last held in 2002.[1]
The league will consist of three teams for its inaugural 2015 season, featuring the Pretoria Capitals, Gauteng Wildcats, and the Cape Town Kings. Most of the players on the South African National Team play for one of the three clubs.[1]
