Heritage Junior B Hockey League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heritage Junior B Hockey League is a Junior "B" ice hockey league in Alberta, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada. The HJHL was founded in 1987 and is made up of teams from southern and central Alberta. The HJHL is the largest Junior B league in the province, with 15 teams set to compete in 2006-07.
As one of the largest Junior B leagues in Alberta, both the league champion, and the losing finalist qualify for the Alberta Provincial Junior B Hockey Championship. The winner of this tournament earns the right to compete for the Western Canadian Junior "B" Crown, the Keystone Cup.
The Okotoks Bisons won the 2006 league championship, while the Red Deer Vipers won both the Alberta Provincial Championship and the Keystone Cup as Western Canadian champions.
The HJHL will play a 36 game weekend only schedule in 2006-07.
