The Chinook Hockey League (CHL), named Allan Cup Hockey West from 2017 to 2022,[1] is a multi-tier Canadian Senior ice hockey league based in Alberta. The CHL is one of three Allan Cup-eligible ice hockey leagues currently operating in Canada; the others are Ontario's Allan Cup Hockey.[2] and Newfoundland's Avalon East Senior Hockey League.[3] Since the beginning of the 1998–99 season, the Chinook and ACHW have produced four Allan Cup national champions: the 1999 Stony Plain Eagles,[4] and the 2009, 2013 and 2016 Bentley Generals.[5] The Lacombe Generals have the most playoff championship wins at 12. Stony Plain collected eight consecutive titles from 1998 to 2005 while the Generals recently earned their 11th consecutive title dating back to 2008–2009.
