Island Junior Hockey League

The Island Junior Hockey League is a Junior "B" ice hockey league in Prince Edward Island, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada.

History

In 1989, the Summerside Western Capitals hosted the Tier II Junior "A" Championship, then known as the Centennial Cup, and represented the IJHL at the tourney. The Western Capitals came in second place, losing to the Thunder Bay Flyers of the United States Hockey League 4-1 in the final after beating the Moncton Hawks 3-2 in a triple-overtime thriller in the semi-final. The Western Capitals and the Charlottetown Abbies severed ties with the IJHL in 1991, to join the Maritime Junior A Hockey League. Since 1991, the IJHL has been strictly a Junior "B" League -- one tier below the Maritime Junior A Hockey League and two tiers below the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League which both draw from the same region.
