The 1983–84 Naisten SM-sarja season was the second season of the Naisten SM-sarja ice hockey league. The champion was HJK Helsinki. Silver was won by EVU Vantaa and bronze by Ilves Tampere.[1]

Season format

[edit]

The ten teams were divided into two groups of five, called Lohko A (lit.'Group A') and Lohko B (lit.'Group B'). The groups were closed in the regular season and played as double round-robins. Every team played against the other four teams in their group twice for a total of eight games. Two points were awarded for a win and one point for a tie. The top two teams from the groups qualified for the final tournament.

Regular season

[edit]

Lohko A

[edit]

Ilves swept all eight games to claim first place in Lohko A with 16 points. In an unexpected twist, Tiikerit and Ässät were tied in second place at the end of the regular season with ten points, identical win-loss records, and a goal difference of exactly +22 each. As only two teams were able to progress to the final tournament, Tiikerit and Ässät played a sudden death match to qualify for the final tournament, which Tikkerit won 7–6.

Both SaiPa and Haukat found no success against the top three teams in Lohko A, splitting their two-game regular season series to win one game each.

Her league-leading 33 goals accounted for over half of the 62 goals scored for Ässät and were 25 goals ahead of the next highest Ässät goal-scorer. With the addition of her 9 assists, she was involved in two-thirds of all goals scored for Ässät.

Jaana Rautavuoma of Ilves finished the season ranked second in Lohko A and the league overall with 29 goals and league-leading 13 assists for 42 points in 8 games.
