The IHL (International Hockey League) and AHL (American Hockey League) are both professional Ice Hockey leagues, but they differ in structure and level of play. The AHL is a primary developmental league for the NHL, featuring teams affiliated with NHL franchises, while the IHL was a former league that operated primarily in the United States and Canada from 1945 until it ceased operations in 2001. The AHL currently serves as a stepping stone for players aspiring to reach the NHL, whereas the IHL was known for its independent franchises and was considered a secondary league.
