Thunder Bay Junior B Hockey League

Thunder Bay Junior B Hockey League

The Thunder Bay Junior B Hockey League is a Junior "B" ice hockey league in Ontario, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Northwestern Ontario and Hockey Canada.

History

The TBJBHL league has mixed itself in with Juvenile and Midget "AAA" teams in the Thunder Bay region for regular season games. Only the Junior teams are eligible for the playoffs. The league is sometimes referred to as the Thunder Bay Junior B/Juvenile/AAA Hockey League. The playoff champions earn the right to compete for the Keystone Cup, the Western Canadian Junior "B" Crown. This is the only Ontario Junior "B" league with this distinction as the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "B" leagues playoff for the Sutherland Cup and the 22-team Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League plays for the D. Arnold Carson Memorial Trophy.

From 1996 until 2004, the TBJBHL competed against the North of Superior Junior B Hockey League in the Northwestern Ontario Regionals for the right to compete at the Keystone Cup. After the 2003-04 season, the NSHL folded with their last champion, the Wawa Travellers, losing the league's final game in the Regionals to the TBJBHL's Thunder Bay Northern Hawks.

The Fort William Hurricanes, best known for winning the TBJBHL's only Keystone Cup, have announced on their webpage that they are interested in restarting their Junior "B" franchise for the first time since the 2000-01 season [http://eteamz.active.com/FortwilliamHurricanes/] . The Hurricanes won four league titles in six years between 1995 and 2000.
