The Polish 2. Liga is the third-level ice hockey league in Poland, below the Polska Liga Hokejowa and the Polish 1. Liga.
History[]
During the 1950s and 1960s, Poland featured a provincial league, where the winner (after playoffs) was promoted to the 2. Liga (now the 1. Liga). In later years the competition system changed, and a regional 3. Liga was created. It functioned as the third level of Polish ice hockey until it folded in 1980. In mid-2011, the 2. Liga was created under the auspices of the Polish Ice Hockey Federation. Thus, the 2011-12 season marked the first third-level competition to be played in Poland in 31 years.
