History
Promoted to a Junior "A" League in 1980, one season after the British Columbia Junior Hockey League-Pacific Coast Junior Hockey League merger. The league's most successful team, by far, was the Prince George Spruce Kings. Every season, their playoff champion earned the right to play for the Mowat Cup, the British Columbia Junior "A" Title. The PCJHL/RMJHL was eligible for the Royal Bank Cup, the Tier II Junior "A" National Title.

In 1990, the Peace Cariboo league doubled in size when it took in a portion of the Jr. B Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and renamed itself the Rocky Mountain league.

In 1999, the league folded and its remaining teams merged into the British Columbia Hockey League and the Junior "B" Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.
