List of Finnish ice hockey champions
The Finnish ice hockey champions is a title awarded annually to the winning team of the top-tier ice hockey league in Finland, which currently is Liiga since 2013. The championship's present format did not take into effect until the league was originally formed for the 1975–76 season under the name of SM-liiga (preceded by SM-sarja). A team who wins the Finnish Championship is awarded the Kanada-malja ("Canada Bowl") trophy. The winner of the regular season receives the Harry Lindbladin muistopalkinto ("Harry Lindblad Memorial Trophy").
Viipurin Reipas won the inaugural Finnish Championship in 1928.
