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 SM-liiga since 1975. 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").
