The North West Junior Hockey League is a Junior "B" Ice Hockey league operating in the Peace River region of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada, sanctioned by Hockey Canada. The winner of Northwest "B" playoffs earns the chance to compete for the Western Canadian Junior "B" Crown, the Keystone Cup. To earn the right to compete, they must face off against the winners of the other Alberta "B" leagues in the Russ Barnes Trophy.
The Whitecourt Wolverines disbanded in the 2012 off-season to make way for the relocation of the St. Albert Steel of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, becoming the new Whitecourt Wolverines.
