Central Hockey League (1931–1935)
Central Hockey League was an amateur and semi-professional ice hockey league that was active from 1931 to 1935. It was created as a direct result of the Great Depression as a way to allow ice hockey teams to operate without having to pay its players. History In the wake of 1929 stock market crash, the depressed economic situation across the country caused problems for many businesses. The St. Paul Saints, unable to continue paying its players, was forced to suspend operations in 1930. The following year, the Minneapolis Millers were faced with a similar situation. However, as the audience in Minnesota still existed, the teams hit on a solution to the problem. Minneapolis left the AHA while St. Paul resumed play as amateur teams. In short order they were joined by three other clubs around the state and were able to put together a new amateur league. After the first year, the league switched from amateur to semi-professional Semi-professional sports are sports in which athl ...

International Hockey League (1929–1936)
The International Hockey League was a professional hockey league operating in Canada and the United States from 1929 to 1936. It is one of two direct ancestors of the American Hockey League. It was formed when the Canadian Professional Hockey League split into two leagues. The larger teams formed the IHL, which was one step below the National Hockey League. The smaller teams kept the CPHL name, and served as a farm system for the IHL for one season. Three teams folded and two others merged after the 1935–36 season, leaving the IHL with only four teams—the minimum required for the league to be viable. The remaining teams joined with the Canadian-American Hockey League, which had also been cut down to four teams, to form a "circuit of mutual convenience" called the "International-American Hockey League." The two leagues played an interlocking schedule for the next two years, with the IHL serving as the IAHL's Western Division and the Can-Am serving as its Eastern Division. ...
