Five AJHL Teams To Join the BCHL For Next Season:

A very reliable source told me on Friday evening, five teams from the Alberta Junior Hockey League will be joining the BCHL next season. (Spruce Grove, Brooks, Sherwood Park, Blackfalds and Okotoks). My sources said below is what the Conferences/Divisions will look like for the 2024-25 season.

I did some research last night and come across several other reports online with the same story.
