The Balkan Hockey League (Bulgarian: Балканска Хокейна Лига), called the BaHL (Bulgarian: БаХЛ), is the second highest-level ice hockey league in Bulgaria.
The idea for the league was caused by Martin Milanov, famous Bulgarian professional ice hockey player and future president of BaHL. In the beginning only a few teams participated but over the time more and more teams joined, making 10 teams nowadays.
The league exists in today's form since the 2006-07 season.
During the years teams from Serbia, Greece, Macedonia have joined and have left the league. This season there are only two foreign teams: Metalurg Skopje (Macedonia) and Allstars (Greece).
There are playoffs after the regular seasons. Almost all BaHL have been won by Bulgarian teams. The only cases in which the championship was won by other teams, they were from Greece.
