The 2021–22 SJHL season was the 54th season of the SJHL. The Estevan Bruins were awarded the league championship Canalta Cup after defeating the Flin Flon Bombers in game 7 of the finals.^[1]

The Estevan Bruins and the city of Estevan hosted the 2022 Centennial Cup national championship tournament in May 2022, a decision that was made during the 2019–20 season well before the team's 2021–22 SJHL championship.^[2] The Estevan Bruins and the Flin Flon Bombers both competed for the 2022 Centennial Cup under a new 10-team format.

Season highlights

The Estevan Bruins were selected to host the 2022 Centennial Cup national championship tournament with a new 10-team format.^[3] The league was also represented by the Flin Flon Bombers despite their having lost to the Estevan Bruins in the final round of the playoffs.^[4] Since the Estevan Bruins had a guaranteed berth, the Flin Flon Bombers moved into the slot that would otherwise have been awarded to the league champions.^[5]

The league hired Kyle McIntyre as its new commissioner to replace Bill Chow, who resigned after 11 years in the role.^[6]^[7]^[8]

In 2022, the Centennial Cup moved to a 10-team format, including the champions from each of the nine leagues that make up the CJHL, and the host team, thus eliminating the intervening regional contests for the ANAVET Cup, the Fred Page Cup and the Doyle Cup.^[12] Since the Estevan Bruins had a guaranteed berth 2022 Centennial Cup as the host team, the qualifying berth normally awarded to the SJHL champions was awarded to the Flin Flon Bombers.^[13]

The format consisted of a 4-game round-robin with two groups of five teams, followed by a six-team single-elimination play-off.^[14] The Estevan Bruins were eliminated after losing 3 games in the round-robin phase.^[15] The Flin Flon Bombers were eliminated by the Pickering Panthers in the first round of the elimination phase.^[16]
