history
For the first time, an ice hockey championship was played in France in the 1906/07 season. The addition of a second division took place in the 1930/31 season when the so-called 2 e série began playing. In a third class a championship was only played twice in 1934 and 1935. With the division of the 1 re série for the 1973/74 season in Série A and Série B, the third division was reintroduced. The fourth division was finally introduced in 1986.
Today's Division 1 was founded in 1930 under the name 2 e série . She kept this until 1973. In the following years several renaming followed. From 1973 to 1975 it was called Série B , then from 1975 to 1985 National B , in the 1985/86 season National 2 , from 1986 to 1990 National 1B , then Division 1 until 1992 and National 2 until 1994 . From the 1994/95 season, the name Nationale 1B followed again , which, with the exception of the 1995/96 season, was re- chosen as the Division 1 name , also in the 1996/97 season. From 1997 to 2001, National 1 was the league name. It has had its current name since 2001.
