Prairie Junior Hockey League


The Prairie Junior Hockey League is a Junior "B" ice hockey league in Saskatchewan, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada.

History

The PJHL was founded in 2005-2006 with the merger of the South Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and the North Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The PJHL was known as the South Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League from 1992 through 2007 season when they changed their name.
Previously the playoff winners played-off against the champion of the NSJHL in the Provincial championships. Since the amalgamation of the two leagues in 2007, the PJHL has been the only Junior 'B' league in the province; thus its champion has been awarded the provincial title. The provincial champion moves on to compete for the Keystone Cup Western Canadian Junior 'B' championship.
The league draws many players from Saskatchewan, most teams draft players from nearby towns and cities, though it's not mandatory. Some teams outweigh other teams in the PJHL. For example, the Pilot Butte Storm advanced to the finals eleven years in a row, while the Ochapawace Thunder didn't win a game in the 2015–16 PJHL season.
