This section covers Junior B Hockey (called Junior AA in Quebec and Tier III in the United States) leagues across Canada and the United States. Like most other areas team contact information is included on each league page. Junior B hockey in Canada is widespread with a number of leagues. Tending to be small town or comunity based it serves as a place for the development of skilled players. Many times Junior B hockey clubs will have aggreements with a Major Junior A hockey team.
