History

From 1968 until 2010, the league was known as the Eastern Ontario Junior C Hockey League. At the start of the 2010-2011 regular season, the league was rebranded under its new name - National Capital Junior Hockey League (NCJHL).

In April 2015, the NCJHL accepted the application of the Morrisburg Lions to join the league for starting in the 2015-2016 season. The Lions were one of six teams dropped when the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League re-configured and re-branded as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2.[1]

In March 2017, it was announced that the reigning NCJHL champions, Embrun Panthers, were joining CCHL Tier 2 in the fall of 2017.

In April 2017, four new teams have been accepted to join the NCJHL: two brand new teams - Blackburn Inferno and Bytown Royals; and two former CCHL Tier 2 teams - Metcalfe Jets and South Grenville Rangers, bringing the total to 12 teams.[2][3]

In July 2017, the Rockland Nationals became the Les Castors de Clarence (Clarence Castors) after originally moving to Clarence to become the Jr. C version of the CCHL's Rockland Nationals. The CCHL2 Clarence Castors moved to Carleton Place to serve as an affiliation to the Carleton Place Canadians, calling themselves the Carleton Place Jr. Canadians.

gollark: Hmm, so nutrient paste with flavouring, then.
gollark: That doesn't really make it "rational" to eat that instead of nutrient paste when we are no longer constrained that way as much.
gollark: Yes, the whole thing of humans previously not having access to much energy from food in the environment they involved in, or whatever.]
gollark: (well, not *everyone*, but lots)
gollark: People have art on their walls and whatnot.
