The CJHL Jr B loop regular season is set to start October 28th. It won't be a regular schedule thanks to the ongoing pandemic but it will be some meaningful hockey for the young men who've been waiting to play.

It's official! The CJHL Jr B schedule has been uploaded on the website. Please note the early start time for the Edmonton Royals home game and the Morinville Jets are returning to the old arena (renamed REMAX arena). It's unbalanced and short but it's meaningful hockey.
