Ligue de Hockey Senior Acadie-Chaleur

The Ligue de Hockey Senior Acadie-Chaleur was a senior ice hockey league in New Brunswick. It was first played during the 2016-17 season.

A possibility existed that three new teams were to join the league for 2018-19 but that was voted down at a May 2018 meeting. Among the candidates were the Dalhousie North Marauders, Bouctouche JCs, and Lameque Au Ptit Mousse. Bouctouche, Lameque, and the Elsipogtog Hawks would end up forming the Beausejour Senior Hockey League for the 2019-20 season which was the remnants of the former North East Senior Hockey League which folded after the 2017-18 season.

The Chaleur Rameurs would withdraw just prior to the 2018-19 season.   The Chaleur Mooseheads would replace them for the 2019-20 season.

The league website had not been updated since the end of the 2021-22 season and then on November 4, 2022 the Beausejour Senior Hockey League announced the addition of the Dalhousie Marauders, Shippagan Marchands and the Tracadie Alpines indicating that the league is not operating for the 2022-23 season as the Caraquet Acadiens and Chaleur Mooseheads were not playing for the 2022-23 season.

On June 4, 2023 the Ligue de Hockey Senior Acadie-Chaleur issued a release stating that it was terminating all activities.
