History

The BHL was formed in 1997 as a merger of the Kirav Hockey League and the [Fanerian predecessor].

The Kirav Hockey League had been salvaged from the ruins of the state-managed All-Union Hockey Championship, part of the Kiravian Union's Unified National Sporting System abolished by the Reform Act of 1994. Prime Executive Ivardus Kólsylvar's administration issued a decree releasing the major spectator sport leagues from government control and approving the privatisation of their constituent clubs on a franchise model by provincial governments. Later that same year, the new owners of the All-Union Championship clubs, most of which were investment groups backed by Fanerian, Kiravian Overseas, and South Cronan capital, changed the league's name to the KHL.

[History of Fanerian predecessor here]

The situation in 1997 leading to the merger was thus: To the KHL, association with the more established [Fanerian league] would allow franchise owners greater access to foreign investment and to managers with private sector experience. To the [Fanerian league], association with the KHL would bring exposure to a large and promising new market, as well as a vast pool of Kiravian players willing to work for dirt cheap.
