The Ligue de Hockey Senior Acadie-Chaleur is 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.[1] Among the candidates were the Dalhousie North Marauders, Bouctouche JCs, and Lameque Au Ptit Mousse.[2] 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.
