By 1965 a regular but limited schedule had been established. The Spring Cup served as the Northern League playoffs between 1968 and 1982. The finals were not contested in 1980 and 1981.

The Northern League was the top-flight ice hockey league in Scotland and initially northern England, from 1966. In 1982 it merged with the Inter-City League and the English League North to form the British Hockey League. The League developed out of the far more limited Scottish League, established in 1962. By 1965 a regular but limited schedule had been established. In 1966, the better British teams, mostly in Scotland, agreed to form a league to provide matches throughout the season. Initially, seven teams joined. It proved a success, and in 1970 various English teams formed a Southern League, leaving the Northern League as an entirely Scottish competition. The Spring Cup served as the Northern League playoffs between 1968 and 1982. The finals were not contested in 1980 and 1981. There was also a junior loop and a second-tier competition, first known as the Northern Second League and then as the Northern Reserve League.
