Cariboo Hockey League

The Cariboo Hockey League was a Senior and Intermediate hockey league in the Cariboo District of British Columbia, Canada.
==History==
The league began with the 1948-49 season as the Central Interior Hockey League. For the 1955-56 season the league was renamed to the Cariboo Hockey League. It was considered an outlaw league, outside of the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association until the 1963-64 season. Prior to that season it could not participate in the provincial playoffs
The league was the major Senior A League in the Cariboo Region of British Columbia for a long time. In 1979, the league merged with other shrinking leagues to form the British Columbia Senior Hockey League. The CarHL came back for one season in 1983-84 before disappearing early in the 1984-85 season when the two remaning teams had dispute over league scheduling.
