Shows the last year each of the 60 current CHL franchises won a Memorial Cup - or the year they entered competition if they have never won a Memorial Cup (marked with a *). Shows the playoff timing of a season, such as 1960 for the 1959-60 season.

Shows the last year each of the 60 current CHL franchises won a J. Ross Robertson Cup (OHL), the Ed Chynoweth Cup (WHL) or the President's Cup (QMJHL) - or the year they entered competition if they have never won a league championship (marked with a *). Shows the playoff timing of a season, such as 1967 for the 1966-67 season.

For and franchise that did not qualify for their respective league finals (OHL,QMJHL,WHL) in 2014-15 season, shows the last year they did.

Shows the playoff timing of a season, such as 1967 for the 1966-67 season.

For any franchise that did not enter post-season play for the current 2016-17 season, shows the last year that franchise did play in the post season. A significant number of teams in each league do enter post season play (80% of the CHL played in the 2017 playoffs), so playoff droughts are not as pronounced as championship droughts.

The longest championship drought in CHL history is shared by the Saskatoon Blades and the Tri-City Americans, who have never won the WHL title nor a Memorial Cup since their founding in 1966. The Blades hold the record for longest drought for a franchise during their time in one city/team name, as the Americans have changed names and cities a few times since 1966.
