The Scottish National League was the first
ice hockey league in
Scotland. It was founded in 1932 by five teams from a single
ice rink in
Glasgow. The league gradually expanded to encompass teams from many areas of
Scotland. It was suspended during the
Second World War, but returned in 1946, and for the 1947/8 season was split into two divisions. These reunited the following season, and in 1954 the league merged with the
English National League to form the
British National League.
