This division was originally known as the <b>National Division</b>, and during the 1997–98 season the teams in this division played dual schedules; a series of games solely amongst themselves, and another amongst all of the teams which fell under the jurisdiction of the ENIHL at this time. <a href="/wiki/Coventry_Blaze" title="Coventry Blaze">Solihull Blaze</a> won the league and play-off trophies of both formats during this inaugural season. </p><p>At the start of the 1998–99 season the divisions, whilst still both under the ENIHL umbrella, performed in their own separate competitions; and the national division adopted the name <b>Premier Division</b>, and later on became known as the <b>Premier League</b>. By the end of the season the league had established itself outside of the ENIHL as the <a href="/wiki/English_Premier_Ice_Hockey_League" title="English Premier Ice Hockey League">English Premier Ice Hockey League</a> (EPIHL); reducing the ENIHL to the fourth level of Britain's ice hockey pyramid. </p><p>However, in 2005 the BNL disbanded, leaving the EPIHL to take its place as the second tier of the national game and, consequently, re-establishing the ENIHL as the third tier of British ice hockey.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In April 2007, the EIHA lowered the upper age limit within the junior leagues, abolishing the under 19 age limit to become under 18. Due to the large gap from junior level to the <a href="/wiki/EPIHL" class="mw-redirect" title="EPIHL">EPIHL</a>, many teams were forced to enter a reserve team into the <a href="/wiki/ENIHL" class="mw-redirect" title="ENIHL">ENIHL</a>. This increased the size of the league from 22 teams through to 30 teams for the 2007–08 season.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Later in the 2007 off-season, the <a href="/wiki/English_Ice_Hockey_Association" title="English Ice Hockey Association">EIHA</a> suggested introducing an under 25 age limit across the league.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, this age limit was removed within weeks in favour of a drive towards developing players.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The ENIHL was restructured for the 2008/2009 season into two regional divisions North and South, with two leagues in each regional division. </p><p>Following the 2012–13 the league was renamed the <b>National Ice Hockey League</b>, removing the word English due to non-English teams participating. In 2013, it was agreed at the <a href="/wiki/English_Ice_Hockey_Association" title="English Ice Hockey Association">EIHA</a> <a href="/wiki/Annual_general_meeting" title="Annual general meeting">AGM</a> to restructure the Northern league into two conferences; Moralee and Laidler. The split was done primarily on regions and neither conference was regarded as being higher than the other. However, at the following year's AGM, it was agreed to return to a tiered Division 1 and Division 2 format. However, the conference names remained in place with Division 1 taking the Moralee Conference title and Division 2 the Laidler Conference title. </p><p>In 2014, it was agreed at the <a href="/wiki/English_Ice_Hockey_Association" title="English Ice Hockey Association">EIHA</a> <a href="/wiki/Annual_general_meeting" title="Annual general meeting">AGM</a> to restructure the Southern Division 2 league to have Western and Eastern Conferences. Due to the odd-number of teams in the league, the Eastern Conference had six teams while the Western Conference had five teams. Both conferences were run completely separately and each winner was only regarded as being the conference winner, with no implication of one conference winner being regarded as the league winner. A two-round playoff format was introduced at the end of the season to determine a league-wide winner. The winner of the playoffs would then be the team promoted to Division 1. In 2017, the two conferences were reunited. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Players">Players</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Ice_Hockey_League&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Players"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The league itself is considered to be a development league, and as such the players are normally amateur.
