2023-24 Chinook Hockey League season

This is the 2023-24 Chinook Hockey League season.  This is the league's 53rd season.  This would be the league's second season back after the league falling apart after the 2019-20 season when the league was down to two teams and the COVID-19 pandemic cancelling the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Allan Cup tournaments.
All three teams from 2022-23 were planned on returning, with the teams playing twelve game schedules playing each other six times, three home and three away.https://www.chinookhockeyleague.ca/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientid=3293&leagueid=8735&page=114159 However, on September 23, 2023 the league issued a statement saying that the Cremona Coyotes would not be returning to the CHL for the following year due to "unforeseen circumstances".https://www.chinookhockeyleague.ca/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientid=3293&leagueid=8735&page=114519 Due to Cremona withdrawing the remaning two teams will play eight games against each other from October 14th to February 3rd with provincial playoffs being held in February with the schedule being released following the conclusion of the regular season.
On May 15, 2024 the North Central Hockey League (Alberta) announced that the Innisfail Eagles and Stony Plain Eagles would be added to the league essentially ending the Chinook Hockey League as they were the only two remaining members of the league.https://www.northcentralhockeyleague.com/leagues/newsletterarchive.cfm?clientid=4841&leagueid=17388&page=115511
