 The regular season has been changed in almost every season that Asia League has been in operation . The first full season mirrors the two most recent seasons in which all teams play all other teams six times . With the amount of teams changing from season to season in the first few years the league adjusted the schedule each year which often included an unbalanced schedule . Under the current schedule all teams make an away visit to each other team 's home rink for a three @-@ game series and also play a three @-@ game series against that team at their own home rink . In order to minimize travel , teams traveling to other countries will stay there for two weeks and play two teams , except in the case of China who only has one team . Teams going to Japan will play against the Cranes and Eagles on the same trip as they are geographically close together , then in another trip play against the Free Blades and Ice Bucks .
