Has anyone heard anything from more central regions? Sask and Manitoba? All I have heard so far is the CSHL in Manitoba has expanded for this year and it includes the St Anne Aces among others. Information for most senior leagues start rolling out during the month of September as teams get an idea of how many players they have committed for the season after a number of practice sessions.
It's actually looks like the CSHL might be done as they are down to 2 teams (Grunthal and Steinbach). The SEMHL added Ile-des-Chenes, Red River, and Ste. Anne from the CSHL. Nothing firm from the Tiger Hills or North Central League.
If Steinbach doesn't have a league to play in could the South East Prairie Thunder be back?
Alberta has the Chinook and North Central with posted information for the season. North Peace, Sask/Alta and East Central have not updated yet. North Peace stated it looked like the season would be a go during the summer as they lost last season as well due to restrictions.
BC has the Central Interior league with 8 teams playing this year.
I thought I saw that there might be one or two teams interested in Senior AAA for the year in BC (can't remember the teams but one of them was supposed to be playing Innisfail a few times during the season as a measuring stick to decide whether or not to try).
Sorry I meant the SEMHL hockey league. I heard the North peace was ago this year with 7 teams, including Ft St John who at the moment has said they will compete AA but apparently there is a AAA rumour swirling about them. IT would be good to see at least one team come out of the central area. Would at least give HC a serious thing to consider with representation from all regions.

I want to say it was Powell River making a run again at BC AAA. Not positive but that rings a bell. Still no team from the Kelowna area either, I’m quite surprised that them and the Van area have never shown interest with their population for players and money in the area. Powell River is the team. I don't think there is any surprise there. I've heard Ft St john may take a swing as well, but that not too sure as they will be in the north peace league.

St. John (for this year anyway) as they haven't played at all since early 2019 as they sat out 2019-20 and the NPHL didn't play in either 2020-21 or 2021-22. Kelowna had the Sparta but they withdrew from Allan Cup competition during the 2018-19 season and haven't played since.

News is very slow to come out of Ontario ACH. My original info in spring was 5 teams. Dundas Brantford Hamilton Oakville Caledon
But official news from league is expected any day. Now hearing 4 teams: Dundas Brantford Hamilton Flamborough
Originally I heard Flamborough was moving to Oakville. Not crickets on that front. And not sure Caledon got off the ground.
Will find out shortly.

Well bad news. Sources tell me no Brantford again this season. Might be another 3 team AAA loop

Maybe the Fort McMurray Millionaires will make a comeback?

Now hearing ACH Ontario could add 4th team in Brampton. Would be great place to setup as the ECHL Brampton Beast ceased operations last year. Many former Beast players ended up playing Senior AAA after playing for Brampton in previous seasons
Hope this rumour comes to fruition

Stony Plain is earnestly trying to get going. Not sure what they’ve got for players but Bryan Forslund will be announced as Head Coach in the coming days.

Such a good person and team mate. Hopefully the delay in league announcement didn't hurt them too much with recruitment.

I believe Stony has a schedule posted on their website now. Most of the top SR players in AB have chosen to play in the NCHL.
