2016-17 ProvJHL Season

This is the 2016-17 Provincial Junior Hockey League season.  This is the league's first season.

In the works since 2014, it was announced in the spring of 2016 that the eight Junior C leagues of the Ontario Hockey Association would merge for the 2016-17 season to create the Provincial Junior Hockey League. The union was in an effort to streamline rules across the classification and to promote growth and development.

The leagues that make up the PJHL are the former Central, Empire B, Georgian Mid-Ontario, Great Lakes, Midwestern, Niagara &amp; District, Southern, and Western leagues that are now the eight divisions split into four conferences.
