2023-24 NWCSHL season

This is what is planned to be the 2023-24 Newfoundland West Coast Senior Hockey League season.
==Membership Changes==
*The Stephenville Jets who did not play for 2022-23 join a reformed Central/West Senior Hockey League. (see below)
*On September 19, 2023 the Deer Lake Red Wings announced that they were leaving the Newfoundland West Coast Senior Hockey League in an attempt to reform the Central/West Senior Hockey League along with the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts. The Corner Brook Royals and the Port-aux-Basques Mariners are attempting to salvage a season as it appears unlikely that Port-aux-Basques would be welcome in a league with Grand Falls-Windsor involved due to the travel distance.https://www.facebook.com/ The following day the Red Wings announced that the new league would also include the Stephenville Jets and plans to add a fourth team for the season and that the WCSHL did not want to expand for the 2023-24 season and that was a major reason for their withdrawal.https://www.facebook.com/deerlakeredwings/posts/pfbid0N4JTpdKvmNEDTutKvgeMsMyQqvosqdbVLyYKDNFJV8dcuZ6bxeGQxg8zcFe2FMNel This would likely result in the Avalon East Senior Hockey League and Central/West Senior Hockey League champions meeting for the Herder Memorial Trophy in the spring.
*On September 24th a new team from Corner Brook was announced as being part of the new league for 2023-24.https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02fFPhQQdpDzL1BgsQkeLyDH1zquJD5ZrWgVqaQpKrJWNsNMhjHhaXb5X1XcoysrmMl&id=6155 1602802029 The team would end up assuming the Corner Brook Royals identity when a change in management for the team is announced on October 5, 2023.https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02JVFHFrF5wQN2yQ1tmGTqZwzsGaxqjXW8oEGfzATSU6i9ry4jX8h3rhsfqqj9pkYtl&id=61551602802029
