The league was promoted to Junior A in 1973. Most of the teams originated from the Island Junior B Hockey League, except for the [[Charlottetown Abbies]] who played the previous season in the [[Central New Brunswick Junior B Hockey League]].

In 1989, the [[Summerside Western Capitals]] hosted the [[CJAHL|Canadian Junior A]] Championship, then known as the [[Royal Bank Cup|Manitoba Centennial Cup]], and represented the IJHL at the tourney. The Western Capitals came in second place, losing to the [[Thunder Bay Flyers]] of the [[United States Hockey League]] 4-1 in the final after beating the [[Moncton Hawks]] 3-2 in a triple-overtime thriller in the semi-final. The Western Capitals and the [[Charlottetown Abbies]] severed ties with the IJHL in 1991, to join the [[Maritime Junior A Hockey League]].
