The Prince Edward Island Junior C Hockey League is a Junior "C" ice hockey league in Prince Edward Island, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada. The winner of the playoffs competes in the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championships. The league was known as the Prince Edward Island Minor Junior Hockey League until 2009. Until the 2017-18 season no team from PEI had won the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championship. The closest a team has come to winning was in 2015 when the South Side Lynx lost to the Baffin Blizzard of Hockey North 6-5 until the Sherwood Metros won the 2018 Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championships.
At the year end meeting held in April 2016, the league announced that it approved the return of a team to be based in Summerside. At the same meeting the other six teams all announced their intention to return. The Summerside team stated their intent to play at The Plex at Slemon Park. The league also stated it had several other applications that they were holding off taking action on until a later meeting.
