2016-17 NPHL Season

This is the 2016-17 North Peace Hockey League season.
==Membership Changes==
*The Valleyview Jets were accepted back into the league.  The team had last played in the league in the 2012-13 season.
*The Grande Prairie Athletics were accepted back in to the league after sitting out the 2015-16 season due to reorganization of the team.
*The Lakeland Eagles had applied to play in the league; but were rejected.  The team was advised they could reapply for membership for the 2017-18.  It appears there was some issue with something in their application not being in accordance with the NPHL constitution.https://www.mygrandeprairienow.com/17957/lakeland-eagles-denied-return-to-north-peace-hockey-leaguethe-lakeland-eagles-will-not-be-returning-to-the-north-peace-hockey-league-next-season-the-other-teams-have-voted-against-their-application-t/
