The NCHL's 2002-03 season had no changes in teams for the first time. Slave Lake again had the dominant team as they lost only 1 game all season. Slave Lake defeated Whitecourt in one semi final while Edson and Hinton battled through the other semi final with Hinton coming out on top. Slave Lake and Hinton met for the third straight league final series with Slave Lake again emerging victorious for their 3rd league title.
The NCHL scrapped their all star game in this and subsequent seasons.
