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
The IJHL shares its name with a former league, which competed at the Junior "A" level in the same region from 1973 to 1991.

Since being founded in 1996, the IJHL has been strictly a Junior B League, one tier below the Junior A Maritime Junior Hockey League and two tiers below the Junior ice hockeyQuebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League, which both have teams located in Prince Edward Island.

In 2002, the O'Leary Eagles won the Don Johnson Cup as Maritime Junior B champions. Nine years later, in 2011, the Kensington Vipers repeated the act as Maritime champions, following up their success again in 2013 and 2023 respectively.

Following the 2021-22, the league lost both the Western Red Wings and Eastern Maniacs but added the Kings County Rivermen. With only 3 remaining teams, the league negotiated to play regular season games with the New Brunswick Junior B Hockey League (NBJHL), with PEI holding their own playoff series.

For the 2023-24 season, the Sherwood Metros and Kings County Rivermen merged and, along with Kensington, will once again compete in the NBJHL to determine the PEI representative for the Don Johnson Memorial Cup.
