Yugoslav Ice Hockey League

The Yugoslav Ice Hockey League was the top ice hockey league in the old Yugoslavia. 
In 1939 Yugoslavia became a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation. That year also, the country held his first national League, with Ilirija Ljubljana emerging as champion.
The League folded in 1991, when the country split. Since then Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia have had their own national Leagues.
