Between the seasons 1995-96 and 1998-99 the league was divided into a northern and a southern group. Since the 1999-2000 season, it is a national league.
In March 2007, it was decided that the Elitserien will comprise 14 teams from the 2008-09 season.
In May 2007, the name of league was changed from Elitserien to the Swedish Super League.
Mika Kohonen holds the record for points in one season (107 p in 29 games) and also the all time record for points in the Swedish Super League.[citation needed]
