The Independent High School Hockey League is a former high school hockey conference consisting of private schools primarily in southern Wisconsin. Founded in 1990 and disbanded in 1999, most schools in the conference were affiliated with the Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletic Association.
History
The Independent High School Hockey League was formed in 1990 by six private high schools in Wisconsin: Edgewood in Madison, Marquette University and Pius XI in Milwaukee, Notre Dame Academy in Green Bay, St. Mary's Springs in Fond du Lac and University School in River Hills. Catholic Memorial in Waukesha joined the conference the next year after promoting their hockey program to the varsity level. Lake Forest Academy in Illinois joined in 1994, giving the conference eight members for the next two years. Two schools left the IHSHL in 1996: Notre Dame (dropped interscholastic hockey) and St. Mary's Springs, giving the conference a six-member roster until it disbanded in 1999.
