Central Canada Hockey League

The Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL; French: Ligue de hockey centrale du Canada, LHCC) is a Junior A ice hockey league in Eastern Ontario composed of 12 teams — all within the National Capital Region. The CCHL is one of the nine Junior A hockey leagues in Canada and is considered as the highest level of Junior A hockey talent wise in the country. The Bogart Cup, the oldest Junior A hockey trophy in Canada, is awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season. The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) views the Bogart Cup as one of the "most important championships available to junior hockey". The CCHL is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario.

The CCHL was created under the sponsorship of the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens in 1961, after the suspension of operations of a Junior A league in the city of Ottawa. The creation of the CCHL was to act as a development league in the National Capital Region. At that time, teams that were not located in the Ottawa area, except for the Pembroke Lumber Kings, were not allowed to participate in the playoffs. The league was originally known as the Ottawa-Hull District Junior Hockey League (OHDJHL).

At its inception, the CCHL only had six teams. The original members included the Hawkesbury Braves, Hull Hawks, Cornwall Royals, Ottawa Primrose, Smiths Falls Bears, and the Pembroke Lumber Kings. For the first two seasons, the CCHL had only six teams, collectively nicknamed the "Original Six", like the National Hockey League's Original Six teams. The league added two new teams as a result of their first expansion in 1963, then increased to 12 teams by 1976 due to the 1976 CJHL expansion. The CCHL is sanctioned by Hockey Eastern Ontario and Hockey Canada, and is a member of the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL). The winner of the CCHL playoffs competes for the national Centennial Cup, an annual tournament organized by Hockey Canada and the CJHL, which determines the national champion of Junior A ice hockey.

The CCHL is the fifth-highest grossing junior ice hockey league in Canada by revenue, after the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Western Hockey League (WHL), the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), and the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL). The league's headquarters have been in Ottawa since 2014, when the Richcraft Sensplex opened.

The league's regular season is typically held from September to March, with each team playing 55 games. Following the conclusion of the regular season, 8 teams advance to the Bogart Cup playoffs, a three-round tournament that runs into May to determine the league champion. Since the league's founding in 1961, the Pembroke Lumber Kings have won the most combined CCHL titles with 14, including five in a row between 2006–07 and 2010–11. The reigning league champions are the Rockland Nationals, who defeated the Carleton Place Canadians in the 2025 Bogart Cup Final.
