The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League is a Junior "B" ice hockey league in British Columbia, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada. The winner of the VIJHL playoffs competes with the champions of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and the Pacific International Junior Hockey League for the Cyclone Taylor Cup, the British Columbia Provincial Title.

As a response to the British Columbia Hockey League withdrawing from Hockey Canada effective June 1, 2023; the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League announced on July 11, 2023 that it had applied with BC Hockey to be classified as Junior A for the 2023-24 season along with all of its' membership.[1] This followed an application from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League to do the same on June 17th,[2] with the Pacific Junior Hockey League expected to do the same shortly there after.[3]
