The Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) is a Canadian junior A hockey league operating in eastern Ontario. The league is sanctioned by Hockey Eastern Ontario and Hockey Canada and is a member of the Canadian Junior Hockey League. The CCHL began as a development league founded by the Montreal Canadiens in 1961. Seeking a place in Ontario for its’ prospects, the league was built and used as a prime source until the draft system changed in the late sixties. By the seventies, teams were among the best in Canada. A reemphasis on development took place in the eighties when the Central league created rules and regulations that ensured younger rosters and an emphasis on development. This philosophy remains, as the CCHL is annually a league sending a large number of young players to higher levels.
T1EHL congratulates all of its players who continue to advance in the ranks of hockey. Where can you go from here? Everywhere.
