Tournament organization

Eight teams compete in the Alberta Junior B Provincials. The two largest leagues (Capital Junior Hockey League, Heritage Junior B Hockey League) send two teams each, the remaining three send one, while the host team is guaranteed a berth.

Starting with the 2023 championships the format was revised such that only the league playoff champion is to advance plus the host city team.
