The Alberta Senior Hockey League was a Canadian senior ice hockey league which operated in Alberta from 1965 and 1978.[1] The Alberta Amateur Hockey Association (AAHA) consolidated its senior hockey leagues in 1965, resulting in one league for the province and folding the Central Alberta Hockey League.[2][3] Several teams from the AAHA opted instead for inter-provincial play in the Western Canada Senior Hockey League, based in Alberta and Saskatchewan.[2]
