2020-21 changes
The Ranchland Hockey League announced on July 26th, 2020 that they would be admitting the Innisfail Eagles into the league for the 2020-21 season. Innisfail has said their intent is to declare as Senior AAA thus being eligible to compete for the Allan Cup, so they will not be eligible to partake in any of the RHL playoffs. In other league news, the Kainai Braves have changed their name to the Chiefs, and the Piikani Broncs will not return this season. The League announced on August 19th that it would delay the start of the 20/21 season until December 4th due to regulations surrounding the Covid-19 outbreak. On October 15th, the league announced that they were cancelling the 2020-21 season in it's entirety due to the restrictions imposed from the Corona virus. The league will resume operations for the 2021-22 season. In January 2022, Hockey Alberta announced that there would be no Allan Cup, and the Innisfail Eagles would be classified as a "AA" team.
