Prince Edward Island Junior C Hockey League
The Prince Edward Island Junior C Hockey League is a Junior "C" ice hockey league in Prince Edward Island, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada. The league was known as the Prince Edward Island Minor Junior Hockey League until 2009. The winner of the playoffs competes in the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championship. Late in the 2023-24 season the league changed sponsors, welcoming a rebrand to the Township Chevrolet Jr Hockey League.
History
In 2015 the South Side Lynx won their first league championship and then proceeded to be the first PEI representative to advance to the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championship final game. In the championship game the Lynx played against the Baffin Blizzard with both teams vying to be the first team from their province/territory to claim a Maritime-Hockey North title. The Baffin Blizzard prevailed, winning 6–5. After a one-year absence a Summerside team, now known as the Crunch, was announced as returning to the league for the 2016–17 season. Sherwood Metros became the first PEI team to win the Maritime-Hockey North Championship in 2018. The Metros defeated South Side Lynx 4–1 in the final. In January 2019 the South Side Lynx ceased operations due to a lack of healthy players. The team posted a 5–13–0–2 record, last in the five-team league. The team announced a return for 2020–21.
