The Orixtal Hockey League (Tierradorian: Orixhtal Leiga le Hoquí, OLH) is a professional ice hockey league in South Crona founded in 1951. It currently comprises of 24 teams; 20 in Tierrador, 2 in Ceylonia, and 2 in Porlos. It is one of the most popular sports leagues in Crona, with league and playoff matches being broadcasted in every Cronan country, along with many countries around the world.
The OHL was organized and founded at the Spitzer Hotel in Taisgol on November 26, 1951, after the suspension of operations of its predecessor organization, the six-team South Cronan Hockey Association (SCHA), which had been founded in 1913 in Qabór. The OHL immediately took the SCHA's place as one of the leagues that contested for the THA Cup in an annual inter-league competition consisting of the OHL, the CHL (until 1966), and the original rendition of the WHL (until they merged in 1976). A long series of league mergers and foldings left the OHL as the only league left competing for the THA Cup, which had been renamed to the Watson Cup to honor hockey legend Matt Watson in 1976.
The OHL is an active member of the Tierradorian Hockey Administration (THA), which is recognized by the WAHF as the national governing body for hockey in Tierrador. The league's several international as well as individual team offices are directed out of its head offices in Central Square in Taisgol, while its OHL Entertainment and OHL TV studios are directed out of offices located in Qabór, Las Rozas. In Tierrador, the OHL is the second wealthiest professional sport league after the Premiership, and one of the top ice hockey leagues in the world, directly rivaling the Levantine Hockey League.
The OHL's regular season is typically held from October to April, with each team playing 82 games. Following the conclusion of the regular season, 16 teams advance to the Watson Cup playoffs, a four-round tournament that runs into June to determine the league champion. Since the OHL's incorporation in 1951, the Qabór Monarchs have won the most outright OHL titles with 24; 7 pre-merger OHL championship series before the league took full exclusivity of the Watson Cup in 1976, and 17 Watson Cups afterwards. The reigning league champions are the Tulangia Centurions, winning their seventh Watson Cup over the Wadičaq Phantoms in the 2034 Watson Cup Finals.
