Twin Cities Hockey League

The **Twin Cities Hockey League** is an amateur hockey league based in the Minneapolis⁠—St. Paul metropolitan area of Minnesota and one of the 18 leagues which comprise the Minnesota Amateur Hockey League. Based out of St. Paul, the TCHL is one of the MAHL's 2 charter leagues, its namesake is the nickname for Minneapolis & St. Paul, the "Twin Cities."

Its current champions are the Highland Park Flying Aces, who won their 2nd League Title in the 1987—88 season. The St. Paul Victorias hold the record for most Twin Cities League Titles won with 19.

From 1962 to 1971, the Twin Cities League, because of its large number of teams, was divided into East and West Divisions, with the top four teams in each division qualifying for the Kellogg Cup playoffs and the league championship decided by a single one-game playoff. With 11 teams leaving to join four new leagues in the Twin Cities area for the 1972 season, the Twin Cities League reverted to a single-division format.
