Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs

The Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs were a Senior AA men's hockey team based out of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. They joined the North Central Hockey League (Alberta) for the 2019-20 season. The Chiefs played their home games in the Jubilee Recreation Centre in Fort Saskatchewan. The Chiefs hosted the 2021-22 Hockey Alberta Senior AA Provincial Championship - they were undefeated in the round robin portion of the tournament and lost the gold medal game to the Lacombe Generals. In October of 2022, the Chiefs announced that they were folding due to player commitment issues. Prior to the 2023 AGM, the Chiefs management notified the league that they would be shutting down operations while extensive renovations were being done to the Jubilee Recreation Centre and expected to potentially return for the 2025-26 season.
