Marie, Michigan. Boasting 12-member teams, the NOJHL continues to become one of the premier Jr. A leagues in all of the entire Canadian Junior Hockey League. The past 2018-19 season saw a number of our clubs listed in the CJHL Top 20 rankings throughout the campaign, including the Soo Thunderbirds ranked eighth overall in the final listings for the 132-team CJHL. As a league, the NOJHL continues to see a multitude of players, coaches, officials and team staff members advance to the next level be it through NCAA or U-Sports programs as well via the Canadian Hockey League along with various other elite-level programs, conferences and the professional ranks. This year, for the first time ever, the NOJHL Showcase will be held in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., allowing NCAA schools easier access to attend the event, without having to cross the border, while taking in two days of exciting on-ice action with a total of 12 games under one roof which will allow you to scout all of our players at one venue, Big Bear Arena, in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. Kindly go through our NOJHL Showcase Information Package and complete our event registration form and return at your earliest convenience.
