Season highlights
Goalie Rhyah Stewart of the West Kent Steamers became the second woman player in league history after 1995–96 Dartmouth Oland Exports goaltender Lisa Herritt.[1][2]
The Edmundston Blizzard reached to the top of the CJHL Top 20 list, becoming the first MHL team to do so since 2011–12.[3]
Regular season
Teams each play a 52-game regular season schedule, including 8 matches against each team in their division, and two against each team in the other division.[4]
Centennial Cup
The 54th annual Junior A national championship tournament will be hosted by the Calgary Canucks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) at the 2,121-seat Max Bell Centre in Calgary. The arena opened in 1974 and underwent a major renovation in 2021.[5] The 10-team format will include the championship teams from the 9 leagues that collectively make up the CJHL. As the host team, the Calgary Canucks will have a guaranteed berth.[6] In the event that the host team wins its league championship (as was the case in 2022 with the Estevan Bruins) the league runner-up for would also advance to the national tournament.[7]
