The first President of the DEL was Rainer Grossmann 1994-97 (who was president of the DEB). The Comissioner of the DEL is now Bernd Schaefer III. From 1997 to 1999 the winner of the regular season automatically got one of three German places in the following EHL. The three places were assigned to the Deutsche Eishockey-Liga winner and the two finalists in the German Championship. If the DEL winner got into the play-off final the DEL runner-up got the 3rd German 'seat' in the EHL. From 1999, the regular season winner and championship winner got the two German EHL spots.

i. When the referee calls a penalty but the offending side do not have control of the puck.
