The Pacific Northwest Hockey League (PNWHL) was a Canadian junior ice hockey and semi-professional hockey league in British Columbia from 1965 to 1982. The Fowler Cup was awarded annually to the league champion at the end of each season. The PNWHL had two play levels: Junior and Intermediate.
The PNWHL has had varying season lengths, in September 1974, the league shortened the intermediate season from 40 to 32 games to accommodate working-class players, while extending the junior season from 32 to 40 games. As a result, league standings switched from the traditional point system to the win-loss percentage system.
The PNWHL was broadcast on Channel 3.
