Den här artikeln är om den nordamerikanska juniorishockeyligan Western Hockey League. För den nerlagda professionella ishockeyligan med samma namn, se Western Hockey League (1952–1974). Western Hockey League (WHL), tidigare Canadian Major Junior Hockey League (CMJHL) och Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL), är en binationell nordamerikansk juniorishockeyliga som ingår i Canadian Hockey League. Ligan startades säsongen 1966/1967 och omfattar lag från västra Kanada samt fyra lag från nordvästra USA. Ligan består av 20 lag. Grundserien består av 72 omgångar, därefter ett slutspel, vinnaren i slutspelet går vidare till Memorial Cup. A Western Hockey League (WHL) é um grande liga júnior de hóquei no gelo com base no oeste do Canadá e do noroeste do Pacífico dos Estados Unidos. O WHL é uma das três ligas que constituem a Canadian Hockey League (CHL). The Western Hockey League (WHL) is a major junior ice hockey league based in Western Canada and the Northwestern United States. The WHL is one of three leagues that constitutes the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) as the highest level of junior hockey in Canada. Teams play for the Ed Chynoweth Cup, with the winner moving on to play for the Memorial Cup, Canada's national junior championship. WHL teams have won the Memorial Cup 19 times since the league became eligible to compete for the trophy. Many players have been drafted from WHL teams, and have found success at various levels of professional hockey, including the National Hockey League (NHL). The league was founded in 1966, as the Canadian Major Junior Hockey League (CMJHL), with seven western Canadian teams in Saskatchewan and Alberta. For its 1967 season, the league was renamed the Western Canada Junior Hockey League (WCJHL). From 1968, the league was renamed the Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL), before the admission of American-based teams in the league and then renaming as the Western Hockey League (WHL) commencing in 1978, up to present day. The league was the brainchild of Bill Hunter, who intended to build a western league capable of competing with the top leagues in Ontario and Quebec. Originally considered an "outlaw league" by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, it was not sanctioned as the top junior league in Western Canada until 1970, when Canadian junior hockey was reorganized. The WHL is composed of 22 teams as of 2019, divided into two conferences of two divisions. The Eastern Conference comprises 12 teams from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, while the Western Conference comprises ten teams from British Columbia, and the American states of Washington and Oregon. Western Hockey League, WHL (fr. Ligue de hockey de l’Ouest – pol. Zachodnia Liga Hokeja) – jeden z trzech głównych młodzieżowych szczebli hokejowych należący do rozgrywek Canadian Hockey League (CHL). Liga została założona w 1966 roku przez Billa Huntera przewodniczącego Western Canada Hockey League. Od 1978 zaczęto nazywać tę ligę Western Hockey League. Występuje w niej 22 zespoły: 17 kanadyjskich Kanady oraz 5 amerykańskich. Zwycięska drużyna w WHL otrzymuje trofeum Ed Chynoweth Cup. Po zakończeniu sezonu właściwego mistrz ligi rywalizuje ze zwycięzcami dwóch pozostałych szczebli CHL z lig Ontario Hockey League (OHL) i Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) o trofeum Memorial Cup za triumf w całych rozgrywkach CHL (w turnieju uczestniczy także wybierany gospodarz imprezy). Die Western Hockey League (kurz WHL), früher auch bekannt als Western Canada Hockey League (kurz WCHL), ist eine der drei kanadischen Top-Juniorenligen, welche die Canadian Hockey League bilden. За́падная хокке́йная ли́га (англ. Western Hockey League (WHL)) — одна из трёх основных юниорских хоккейных лиг, которые образуют Канадскую хоккейную лигу. Победитель лиги награждается Кубком Эда Чиновета и получает право сразиться за Мемориальный кубок с победителями. WHL была основана в 1966 году хоккейным функционером Биллом Хантером. Поначалу лига не признавалась Ассоциацией хоккея Канады, однако уже в 1970 году официально вошла в число трёх лиг высшего уровня юниорского хоккея, а в 1972 году впервые чемпион WHL сразился за Мемориальный кубок. Сегодня в WHL играют 22 команды, разделённые на две конференции, каждая из которых состоит из двух дивизионов. В Восточную конференцию входят 12 команд из канадских провинций Манитоба, Саскачеван, Альберта и Британская Колумбия. В Западной конференции числятся 10 клубов из Британской Колумбии и американских штатов Вашингтон и Орегон. Західна хокейна ліга (ЗХЛ) (англ. Western Hockey League (WHL)) — одна з трьох головних юніорських хокейних ліг, що входять до канадської хокейної ліги. В лізі виступає 22 команди. La Western Hockey League (WHL) è un importante campionato giovanile di hockey su ghiaccio che si disputa tra squadre del Canada occidentale e della zona nord-occidentale degli Stati Uniti. La WHL è una delle tre leghe che costituiscono la Canadian Hockey League (CHL) che rappresenta il massimo livello di hockey giovanile in Canada. Le squadre giocano per vincere l'Ed Chynoweth Cup, la squadra vincente disputerà poi la Memorial Cup. La WHL è stata fondata nel 1966 con sette squadre provenienti dal Saskatchewan e dall'Alberta. Era nata per idea di Bill Hunter che si prefisse l'obiettivo di creare un campionato nella zona occidentale del Paese in grado di competere con i più importanti campionati dell'Ontario e del Québec. Originariamente la WHL venne considerata un "campionato fuorilegge" dall'Amateur Hockey Association fino al 1970 quando la lega venne riorganizzata e quindi riconosciuta dagli organi competenti. Le squadre della WHL hanno vinto la Memorial Cup per 18 volte da quando la Lega è stata dichiarata ammissibile a competere per il trofeo. Oggi la WHL comprende 22 squadre, divise in due conferenze di due divisioni. La Eastern Conference comprende 12 squadre provenienti da Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta e Columbia Britannica, mentre la Western Conference comprende dieci squadre provenienti da Columbia Britannica, Washington e Oregon.

V lize hraje 17 kanadských a 5 amerických mužstev. Vítěz soutěže vyhrává trofej Ed Chynoweth Cup a získává právo bojovat s vítězi OHL a QMJHL o Memorial Cup v národním juniorském šampionátu. Liga byla založena v roce 1966 a nejúspěšnějším klubem je Kamloops Blazers, který získal šest titulů. V letech 1966-68 se soutěž jmenovala Western Canada Junior Hockey League a v letech 1968–1978 Western Canada Hockey League. Prvním Čechem v soutěži byl v sezoně 1988/89 Petr Nedvěd v dresu Seattle Thunderbirds. Vítěz WHL celkem 18x získal primát v Memorial Cupu.
