The Innisfail Eagles and Stony Plain Eagles were accepted into the North Central Hockey League spelling the end of the Chinook Hockey League. Too bad as the league dated back to 1955.

Are they still going to be AAA TEAMS?
I guess whoever wins the season series between the teams would be the Chinook champions

Wow, that's a big move considering there were some talks of adding to the Chinook this year. The Chinook and NCHL are very close in nature, as the President has at times overseen both leagues, so this makes sense.

No as of now they have lost the Allan Cup. Pre-requisite of them joining the new league was to relegate down to AA.
Only AAA teams can host Allan Cup.
With Ontario allowing AA teams to compete, I wouldn't be surprised if there will be some negotiating to allow Innisfail to host while declaring AA.
My understanding is the new league does not want an association with the Allan Cup.
Could mean no Western representation next year

Could mean no Western representation next year Technically you could get a situation where say a BC team says we are gunna challenge and an AB team says we are gunna challenge and that would determine your Western rep.

I was hoping to attend the Telus Cup in Red Deer, but BC was awarded the Host. I also wanted to attend the Centennial Cup in Okotooks, but they left the AJHL. I also wanted to attend the Allan Cup, but Innisfail is no longer hosting it.
