History
Edit
In the works since 2014, in the spring of 2016 it was announced that the eight Junior C leagues of the Ontario Hockey Association would merge for the 2016-17 season to create the Provincial Junior Hockey League. The union was in an effort to streamline rules across the classification and to promote growth and development.[1]
The leagues that formed the PJHL are the Central Ontario, Empire B, Georgian Mid-Ontario, Great Lakes, Midwestern, Niagara & District, Southern Ontario, and Western Ontario leagues.
The Erin Shamrocks announced on June 1, 2016 that they were granted a year's leave of absence for the 2016-17 season.
The Fergus Devils were on a leave of absence for 2015-16 and 2016-17. They did not return for 2017-18 and an expansion team in the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League started play out of the arena for 2017-18.
The Dundas Blues were renamed the Hamilton Huskies Jr. Blues during the 2018 off-season. The team would remain in Dundas under the same community ownership. The team would revert to the Dundas Blues name for the 2019-20 season
