The British National League was a professional ice hockey league in
the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1954 by the merger of the
English National League and the Scottish National League, due to a
declining number of teams, as many ice rinks previously fielding
several sides chose to cut back.

After the 1954/5 season, all the Scottish teams with the exception of
Paisley Pirates quit professional ice hockey, and the league was never
able to regain its strength. It collapsed in 1960, after which no ice
hockey league operated in the UK until the formation of the Northern
League in 1967.
