The Beaver Lakes Hockey League is a Senior AA/A hockey league that is based in Saskatchewan.
The league appears to have folded when being down to three remaining teams from 2017-18 when the Meadow Lake Broncos leave the league for the Sask/Alta Senior Hockey League for 2018-19 and the La Ronge 89ers announce they are taking a leave of absence for the 2018-19 season due to a lack of players.[1]
