Divisions One and Two were also both formed in 1982, there was also a short-lived Division Three. Division Two was reformed as the English League in 1987. In 1996 a major reorganization of the league structure led the two remaining divisions to split into different leagues; resulting in the dissolution of the British Hockey League and the creation of the Ice Hockey Superleague to replace the premier division, and the British National League to replace division 1, respectively. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Durham_Wasps" title="Durham Wasps">Durham
