The Deutsche Nachwuchsliga logo.
Junior hockey in Germany consists of national competitions ranging in age from U15 to U20.
The U11 and U13 classifications are conducted solely on a regional basis. There was formerly a U14 national championship contested during the 1970s and 1980s.
The Junioren-Bundesliga was the top-level of under 21 hockey in Germany until 2014. Some regional leagues continued to operate below it for a little while.
U20 hockey in Germany is referred to as Jugend. The Deutsche Nachwuchsliga operates as the top-level U20 league, while the DNL2 operates below it. Prior to 2014-15, the classification was under 18, and it was U19 from 2015-2017. The Jugend-Bundesliga was the second-level U18 league until 2014. Multiple regional leagues also existed at the U19/U20 level.
At the U15 level, known as Schüler, the Bundesliga exists as the top tier league, while numerous regional competitions are also contested. Prior to 2018, the classification was under 16.
