The 1970-71 West Kootenay Junior Hockey League season was the fourth in league history. The season began with the same five teams as the previous season, until the Castlegar Apollos dropped out on December 13th 1970 after 21 of 32 games. The Apollos' departure resulted in an unbalanced number of games played between the four remaining teams. It was the fourth and final season without any playoffs, and instead the league champion was the team with the best regular season record. The Trail Smoke Eaters continued their dominance with a third championship.[1]
