History
Bandy championships had been contested in Estonia since 1916, though the first hockey competition was not organized until 1934. There championship was not completed in 1935, while a bandy competition was arranged, but thereafter ice hockey took the place of bandy, as it was the sole sport to compete for a championship from 1936-1940.
There were no competitions staged between 1942 and 1945 as Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union and later Germany. After World War II, Estonia was annexed into the USSR as the Estonian SSR. The Estonian SSR Championship then became the new competition within the republic's borders.
