The Onion Lake Border Chiefs are a Canadian junior B ice hockey team located in Onion Lake, Saskatchewan. They joined the North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League in 2014 and play out of the Onion Lake Memorial Communiplex. Their head coach is Mike Clague.
The Border Chiefs were founded in 2014 along with the Frog Lake T-Birds. They became the second team in the NEAJBHL to play out of a First Nations reserve (the other being the T-Birds). In their first season, they finished eighth out of ten teams in the NEAJBHL, with a record of 13–20–3, and were swept in the first round of the NEAJBHL playoffs by the Wainwright Bisons.[1]
After the 2017-18 season the Border Chiefs took several years of absence before becoming an active league member again, for the 2022-23 season.
