The Arnprior Packers are a Junior "B" ice hockey team in Arnprior, Ontario. They were also once members of the CJHL (now the CCHL) before joining the Ottawa Valley Junior Hockey League in 1967. Between 2014-15 and the end of the 2019-2020 seasons, the EOJHL and the CCHL set a new agreement in an attempt to create a better player development model. This resulted in the league re-branding itself as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 (CCHL2), and shrinking to 16 teams and two divisions. The league reverted to the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League for 2021.
