Teams

The MIHL (initially called MAIHL, for Manila Adult Ice Hockey League) has always consisted of four clubs, but the names of the teams and the players playing for them have changed considerably. For the 2017/18 season, for the first time, the MIHL expanded to two divisions, with all four clubs providing a team for both divisions: the "Bayani" Division (i.e. AA) and the "Mabuhay" Division (i.e. B). The winners of the MIHL CUP in the AA Bayani Division in 2017/2018 season were the Cricket Lighters. Team roster included: Jarrett (Jay) Laabs, Ryan Charland, Filip "Donnie" Lindgren, Jamie Booth, Gianpietro Iseppi
