The West Kootenay League is a defunct senior men's ice hockey league that operated in eastern British Columbia from 1922 until 1946. In 1946-47 the league expanded to Spokane and Los Angeles and became the Western International Hockey League.

In its 20 years of operation, the West Kootenay League won every British Columbia Senior Championship (Savage Cup) after its first season (1922-23) and won the Allan Cup twice.

History

The West Kootenay League operated from 1922-23 through 1940-41. In 1941-42 it merged with the Alberta Senior League. After that the league suspended operations for three seasons due to World War II. It was resurrected in 1945-46, and in 1946-47 the league expanded to Spokane and Los Angeles and became the Western International Hockey League.
