The Arnprior Packers are a Junior "B" ice hockey team in Arnprior, Ontario. They were also once members of the CJHL (now the CCHL) before joining the Ottawa Valley Junior Hockey League in 1967.Between 2014-15 and the end of the 2019-2020 seasons, the EOJHL and the CCHL set a new agreement in an attempt to create a better player development model. This resulted in the league re-branding itself as the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 (CCHL2), and shrinking to 16 teams and two divisions. The league reverted to the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League for 2021.

The Arnprior Packers have captured 4 Valley Division Championships, the first in 1980, followed by titles in 1995, 1998 and most recently during the 2011-12 Season where they beat the Perth Blue Wings in 5 games. The Packers have also captured 3 Boxing Day Tournament Titles, the Boxing Day Tournament has since been changed to the EOJHL Fall Classic which the Packers successfully hosted during the 2012-13 Season.
Following the 2022 season the league approved the sale of the Packers to the Shift Performance and Wellness organization.
