2021-22 Can-Am Junior Hockey League season



This is the 2021-22 Can-Am Junior Hockey League season.

History
On January 5, 2022 the six teams that were still actively playing in the Western States Hockey League decided after meetings held at the Western States Shootout in Las Vegas to withdraw from the AAU and the league to form the Can-Am Junior Hockey League which would continue play for the balance of the 2021-22 season.

Scheduling Challenges
As a way to get the schedule balanced out and reduce travel expenses the Vernal Oilers schedule was made to have the team play ten games in ten days with two games each against the other teams all on the road from January 12 to 21 with no two consecutive games being played in the same town. Vernal would then host three teams over course of six weeks for three or four game homestands to further reduce travel for the Alberta teams. They then play 5 road games in five days in 5 towns March 25 to 29 with one game against each of the other members of the league to complete their schedule.

Due to the circumstances of the departure from the WSHL and the league formation the league was founded on January 5th but its first actual game that counted in the league standings was actually played back on October 15th. The first league game under the CAJHL banner is being played on January 12th.

Standings
To be added upon completion of the regular season. The teams have included the time spent in the WSHL as games included in the new league standings.
