The 2021–22 CCHL season was the 61st season of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL).
Season highlights
[edit]The Renfrew Wolves debuted and made the playoffs in their inaugural season.[1][2] The team formed from the sale and relocation of the Kanata Lasers in the 2020 off-season. Their debut was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
An increase in COVID-19 cases in Ontario forced the league to temporarily shutdown for about 4 weeks after the Christmas break.[5][6]
After a two-year hiatus, the national championship Centennial Cup tournament moved from the traditional 5-team format to a 10-team format, including the championship teams from each of the 9 leagues that make up the CJHL, and the host team.[7] This eliminated the intervening regional Eastern Canada championship Fred Page Cup tournament.[8] Under the new format, the tournament consisted of a 4-game round-robin with two groups of five teams, followed by a six-team single-elimination play-off.[9]

National championship
[edit]In 2022, the Centennial Cup moved to a 10-team format, including the champions from each of the 9 leagues that make up the CJHL, and the host team, thus eliminating the intervening regional contests for the ANAVET Cup, the Fred Page Cup and the Doyle Cup.[8] Since the Estevan Bruins had a guaranteed berth as the host team, the qualifying berth for the SJHL champions was awarded to the second place Flin Flon Bombers.[11] The tournament consisted of a 4-game round-robin with two groups of five teams, followed by a six-team single-elimination play-off.[9] The Ottawa Jr. Senators represented the CCHL and were eliminated from competition after losing 3 of their 4 games in the preliminary round.[12] The Brooks Bandits of the AJHL defeated the Pickering Panthers of the OJHL in the final match to win the tournament.[13][14]
