Lake Superior Hockey League

The **Lake Superior Hockey League** is an amateur hockey league based in northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin and southwestern Ontario and is one of the 18 leagues which comprise the Minnesota Amateur Hockey League. Based out of Duluth, its namesake is its teams' locations near the shores of Lake Superior.

Its current champions are the Duluth Hornets, who won their 11th League Title in the 1988—89 season. The Thunder Bay Giants hold the record for most Lake Superior League Titles won with 20, which is also the record for most League Titles won by any team in the MAHL.

The Lake Superior League was the first of the MAHL's member leagues to expand outside of the state of Minnesota (with the Wisconsin-based Superior Lakers) as well as the first to expand outside of the United States of America (with the Thunder Bay Giants based in the Canadian province of Ontario). As of 1962, it is also host to the team who claims the most Kellogg Cup victories in history, the Duluth Voyageurs, who claim six Cups (including two won as Duluth, their temporary merged team with the Duluth Hornets).

With the Grand Marais Explorers' 1971 move to the Cook County Community Center, the Lake Superior League is the first league in the MAHL to have all its teams playing their home games at indoor ice arenas.
