# 2024–25 Auroraliiga season

The 2024–25 Auroraliiga season was the 42nd ice hockey season of the Auroraliiga. It was the first season since the league re-branded to Auroraliiga from Naisten Liiga, the name that had been in use since 2017. The regular season began on 6 September 2024 and concluded on 16 February 2025. The 2025 Aurora Borealis Cup playoffs began on 22 February and will conclude no later than 30 March.
Kiekko-Espoo won the 2024–25 regular season title to continue their reign from the 2023–24 regular season.
IFK Helsinki (HIFK) are the reigning 2024 Aurora Borealis Cup champions.

## League changes
### League rebrand

Founded in 1982 as the Naisten SM-sarja and known as the Naisten Liiga (NSML) since 2017, the league announced it had rebranded as Auroraliiga on 15 August 2024. Announcing the name change, league director Henni Laaksonen emphasized, "it is high time to play ice hockey without prefixes" – referring to the intentional move away from using "women's [ice hockey]" (Finnish: naisten [jääkiekko]) in the new branding – and outlined the league's goal to develop into a top international league that will enable its players to experience the everyday life of professional athletes.
The rebranding included a new wordmark and a black-and-green color scheme.

### Postseason format

Adjustments to the Auroraliiga postseason format were approved by the Finnish Ice Hockey Association in May 2024 and included extending the playoff semifinals and finals from best-of-five to best-of-seven series.
The league qualifiers will be a best-of-five series played by the last place (i.e. ninth ranked) team of the Auroraliiga and the winner of the Naisten Mestis playoffs, regardless of the teams.

### Coaching changes

| Team | Previous coach | New coach | Details |
| KalPa | Mika Väärälä | Artturi Rouhiainen | Väärälä announced he would not continue as head coach of KalPa on 17 March 2024, a day after successfully coaching the team to its second consecutive Finnish Championship bronze medal. Specifics regarding his departure were not reported, however the relationship between the club and coach appeared amicable and he wished the team much success in the future. Väärälä was later appointed associate coach of HK Budapest as the team moved from the European Women's Hockey League (EWHL) to the German Women's Ice Hockey League (DFEL) ahead of the 2024–25 season. Rouhiainen was announced as the new head coach of KalPa on 20 March 2024. The 29-year old spent the 2023–24 season as head coach of KalPa's girls' under-15 team and associate head coach of the girls' under-16 team, while finishing a degree in physical education. |
| Kärpät | Satu Kiipeli | Teemu Koivula | After starting the 2023–24 season as an assistant coach with Kärpät, Kiipeli took on head coaching duties in October 2023 following the resignation of head coach Sanna Lankosaari earlier that month. The team achieved a 9-23 win–loss record on the season and were swept in the quarterfinals of the 2024 playoffs by eventual Aurora Borealis Cup champions HIFK. Koivula was head coach of RoKi during the 2023–24 season, in which the team finished at the bottom of the Naisten Liiga standings. He was announced as the new head coach of Kärpät on 27 March 2024 and, at the same time, it was confirmed that Kiipeli would remain with the team and return to her previous role as assistant coach. |
