Junior hockey in Great Britain
Junior hockey in Great Britain consists of separate English and Scottish competitions, which currently range from U11 to U20.
A true national junior championship was first contested in England in 1982-83, after the formation of a national federation in 1981.
A U16 (later U15) British national championship between the English and Scottish league winners was introduced in 1985-86. A U13 (which became U14 the following year) national championship was added in 1987-88.
U12 competitions were first contested in England and Scotland during the 1988-89 season, as the Pee-Wee classification (formerly U13), was broken into two groups, U12 and U14.
The last national British championship to be held was in 1996-97. Since then, the English and Scottish champions have not met to determine an overall British winner.
A four-team British U20 Championship involving the top English and Scottish U20 teams was introduced for the 2015-16 season. The other age groups in England were also tweaked that year - with U16, U14, and U12 all being reduced by a year (to U15, U13, and U11).
The English leagues are administered by the English Ice Hockey Association, while Scottish Ice Hockey controls the competition in Scotland
