The American Hockey League is the second largest hockey league after the NHL. The North American Professional Hockey League is subsidiary to the AHL
History of AHL
The league was formed in 1926 and was called the Canadian-American Hockey League. Initially, the number of teams was not significant. The league included the hockey teams of Boston, Providence, Springfield, Quebec and New Haven. In 1929, the International Hockey League was founded, which in 1936 merged with the CAHL to form the International American Hockey League. In 1941, virtually all Canadian teams were eliminated from the league. This event was the reason to rename the league to AHL. Later, the Canadian teams still entered the league, but the name remained the same. After World War II, Canadian ice hockey clubs returned to the league, however, the name of the league was not changed.
