DDR-Oberliga (ice hockey)

The Oberliga or DDR-Eishockey-Oberliga was the top level of ice hockey in East Germany. From 1949 to 1970, the increasingly popular sport of ice hockey saw the creation of a variety of leagues, with the Oberliga at the top level. However, in 1970 funding for all but two ice hockey teams (SG Dynamo Weißwasser and SC Dynamo Berlin) was abruptly ended by the Politburo. Some of the de-funded teams went on to participate in the DDR-Bestenermittlung, an unofficial continuation of the former "Gruppenliga" (the second league below the Oberliga until 1970).[1]

For the current third level of German hockey, see Oberliga (ice hockey).

gollark: Yes, I feel like big organizations mostly end up wildly inefficiently managed and just make up for it with economies of scale.
gollark: In terms of actual political beliefs rather than random tests, I lean... libcenter, and agree with Georgism.
gollark: This is what the more libright one says.
gollark: It matched me to "libertarianism", "green libertarianism", "*theocratic monarchy*" (???), "minarchism", "geo-libertarianism" and "conservative libertarianism", which is odd.
gollark: This is what RightValues says.
