International Junior Hockey League was an independent Junior B ice hockey league. The League had teams in New England and Mid Atlantic United States.
League History[]
The league formed in 2005 out of the Interstate Junior Hockey League with teams based in the Northeastern United States and expanded over the next few seasons. Charlie Nielsen is the commissioner of the league.[1]
In December 2011, the Northern New York Gamblers of Massena, New York opted to leave the IJHL.[2]
In July 2012, the ijhl folded after the "Super Elite" league went under. Most of the "Super Elite" league members decided to create a new league called the Northern States Junior Hockey League (NSHL) so they could resume play in the fall.
