The '''Vtoraya Liga''' was the third level of ice hockey in the [[Soviet Union]], below the [[Soviet Championship League]] and the [[Pervaya Liga (Soviet Union)|Pervaya Liga]]. The league was first contested during the 1963-64 season.

==History==
The Vtoraya Liga was initially known as the '''Klass B''', which it was known as through the 1965-66 season. 

It then became the '''III gruppa''' for two seasons (1966-67 and 1967-68) prior to being known as the '''Vtoraya gruppa''' for 1968-69. A year later, the third-level league became the '''Klass A, group 2''' (also called Vtoraya Liga). 

For the 1980-81 season, the league became known officially the '''Vtoraya Liga''', a name it held until folding after the 1991-92 season.
