Carillon Senior Hockey League is a senior men's
ice hockey league that plays out of southeasternManitoba , affiliated underHockey Manitoba as a member ofHockey Canada . The league has yet to compete for theAllan Cup .The league was created in
2003 on the premise that local teams should have local players. The existing senior league at the time, the Hanover-Tache Hockey League, was comprised of a large amount of imported players.The CSHL's first season was as an outlaw league, without accredidation from Hockey Manitoba. Three teams competed that season, the Mitchell Mohawks, Ste. Anne Aces, and Landmark Dutchmen. Mitchell won the championship.
In its second season, the CSHL was accepted by Hockey Manitoba. The league doubled to six teams, with the Steinbach Huskies, Grunthal Redwings, and St. Adolphe Hawks being accepted. Mitchell once again captured the championship.
Prior to the third season, the HTHL folded, and two teams joined the CSHL: the La Broquerie Habs and St. Malo Warriors. This brought the league total of teams to 8. The La Broquerie Habs defeated the Ste Anne Aces in 4 straight games to claim the League Championship.
In Season 4, the Steinbach Huskies and the Landmark Dutchmen folded, leaving the league with 6 teams yet again. The La Broquerie Habs defeated Ste Anne in 5 games to claim their second straight league title. La Broquerie also has the distinction of claiming the title as Manitoba Senior A provincial champions. What was remarkable about this victory is that they are a local only team.
