The National Capital Junior Hockey League (NCJHL ) is a Canadian Junior ice hockey league in Ontario , sanctioned by the Hockey Eastern Ontario and Hockey Canada . The league is meant to be an interprovincial league between Ontario and Quebec .
History
From 1968 until 2010, the league was known as the Eastern Ontario Junior C Hockey League . At the start of the 2010-2011 regular season, the league was rebranded under its new name - National Capital Junior Hockey League (NCJHL).
In April 2015, the NCJHL accepted the application of the Morrisburg Lions to join the league for starting in the 2015-2016 season. The Lions were one of six teams dropped when the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League re-configured and re-branded as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 .
In March 2017, it was announced that the reigning NCJHL champions, Embrun Panthers , were joining CCHL Tier 2 in the fall of 2017.
In April 2017, four new teams have been accepted to join the NCJHL: two brand new teams - Blackburn Inferno and Bytown Royals ; and two former CCHL Tier 2 teams - Metcalfe Jets and South Grenville Rangers , bringing the total to 12 teams.
In July 2017, the Rockland Nationals became the Les Castors de Clarence (Clarence Castors) after originally moving to Clarence to become the Jr. C version of the CCHL 's Rockland Nationals . The CCHL2 Clarence Castors moved to Carleton Place to serve as an affiliation to the Carleton Place Canadians , calling themselves the Carleton Place Jr. Canadians .
The 2019–2020 season was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic, before resuming in 2021 (although with the Inferno relocated to Almonte.)
