Northern League (ice hockey, 1967)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northern League was the top-flight ice hockey league in Scotland and initially northern England, from 1966. In 1982 it merged with the Inter-City League and the English League North to form the British Hockey League.
In 1967, British ice hockey was at a low ebb. No regular league or championship had been contested since 1960. The few ice hockey teams were run on an amateur basis, contesting only irregular challenge matches. The better teams, mostly in Scotland, agreed to form a league, initially of seven teams. This proved a success, and in 1970 various English teams formed a Southern League.
