High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Major Hockey League (Russian: Высшая хоккейная лига (ВХЛ), Vysshaya hokkeinaya liga (VHL)), also known as the Supreme Hockey League and Higher Hockey League (HHL), and until 2010 simply the Major League, is a professional ice hockey league in Eurasia, and the second highest level of Russian hockey. Though currently acting independently, plans were in place to convert it to a farm system for the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)`s 2010–11 season. Prior to the KHL`s creation, it held a relegation role for the Russian Superleague and Soviet League (where it was classified Class-A 2nd division).
