# 2009–10 CCHL season

The 2009–10 CCHL season was the first and only season of the Central Canadian Hockey League (CCHL). The 21 teams of the East and West Divisions competed in 50 regular season games, with the top eight teams in each division competing in the playoffs for the league championship.
The CCHL's playoff champion played against the Ontario Junior A Hockey League's champion for the Buckland Cup. The champion of that series played for the Dudley Hewitt Cup against the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and Superior International Junior Hockey League champions for the right to attend the 2010 Royal Bank Cup.
The league re-merged with the Ontario Junior A Hockey League after the 2009–10 season, and re-formed the Ontario Junior Hockey League.
