Show Notes
Eight teams from British Columbia and Spokane, Washington, are forming their own junior hockey league, the Western Independent Junior Hockey League (WIJHL), starting this fall. The move comes after the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) planned to split into two tiers. The WIJHL aims to provide better player growth and more control, bypassing oversight from Hockey Canada and B.C. Hockey. However, they face challenges like insurance and logistics. The league officially launches on June 1st, marking new rivalries and opportunities for these teams to forge their own path in junior hockey.
