Starting with the 2020-21 season the newly-formed Alberta Elite Hockey League (AEHL) will be the home for Hockey Alberta’s elite male players.
The AEHL is comprised of the U18 AAA Division (formerly the Alberta Midget Hockey League), U16 AAA Division (formerly the Alberta Minor Midget Hockey League), and U15 AAA Division (formerly the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League).
“The new Alberta Elite Hockey League brings all elite male hockey in Alberta under one set of operating standards which is an important step in ensuring that players within the AAA hockey stream are offered a consistent program and experience, regardless of their age division of hockey or location,” says Neil Robertson, chair of Hockey Alberta’s Elite Male Committee.
Hockey Alberta says the decision was made in December to restructure elite male hockey in the province. They say an extensive review determined that a restructured program would be more cost-effective for the members and stakeholders, while helping raise the status of elite male hockey programming, consolidating volunteer workload at the team and organizational levels, and aligning league operations.
