The Swiss Handball League (SHL) includes among men, the two top divisions of the Swiss Handball Association , the National League A and National League B .
history
The league has existed since 1950. Since the name change to the Swiss Handball League , which took place on February 1, 2002, was not well received by many handball fans and many handball clubs, it was decided to use the old names for the 2008/09 season National League A or National League B to be reintroduced. However, the Swiss Handball League remained the name for the sub-association that administers the top two divisions.
The Grasshopper Club Zurich was able to call itself Swiss champions 19 times by 1979 and is still the record champion today (21 titles). During the 1990s, Pfadi Winterthur established itself as the measure of all things and won the title six times between 1992 and 1998 and reached the semi-finals of the 1997/98 Champions League, which earned the league, which was previously considered the senior league for Bundesliga players, massively improved.
During the 2005/06 season, the Swiss national team took part in matches in their own country in preparation for the 2006 European Championship . She played once against each team between September and December. But after the first two games were lost, the team was renamed Espoirs Switzerland.
On March 17, 2007, the Grasshopper Club Zurich set a new national record victory against SG Chênois & Servette with 55:22.
The top clubs Kadetten Schaffhausen and Grasshopper Club Zurich played in an alliance in the 2007/08 season. The space thus freed up was taken over by the second GC team under the name Grasshopper Club Zürich Espoirs . The favored alliance was surprisingly beaten; Newcomers ZMC Amicitia Zurich secured their fourth title, the first since 1989. A season later, the alliance was dissolved again, while ZMC Amicitia Zurich secured its fifth title.
