history
The second highest division in ice hockey changed its name several times during its existence:
- 1953–1956: Celostátní soutěž
- 1956–1969: 2nd division (often also II. Division)
- 1969–1993: 1st ČNHL , 1st SNHL
From 1963, the second division was played in four regional groups, with Group D being held as a purely Slovak group. The four group winners played two promoted teams in the promotion relegation.
In 1969, the league game operation was reformed and two separate game classes were established for the Czech and Slovak parts of Czechoslovakia. These were referred to as 1. ČNHL ( 1. Česká národní hokejová liga ) and 1. SNHL ( 1. Slovenská národná hokejová liga ), with the latter arising from group D of the 2nd league. For the promotion round, the champion of the 1st SNHL, the first two relay runners of the 1st ČNHL and the runner-up in season A of the 1st ČNHL qualified.
