Every country where hockey is played has some kind of a national championship. In some cases, such as National Hockey League or Continental Hockey League, the championship is that of a league comprising more than one nation; in many other cases, it is a multi-level system, with one top league and one or several lower divisions between which a system of promotion and relegation exists.
