MJHL Media Release
The Manitoba Junior Hockey League opens its 60-game regular season on Friday, September 22, with 10 of 11 teams in action.
The defending MJHL champions, the Portage Terriers will open their regular season in Winnipeg against the Blues, while the Neepawa Natives will start a home and home series with the Winkler Flyers at the Yellowhead Arena. Other opening night games include the Waywayseecappo Wolverines vs. the OCN Blizzard, the Selkirk Steelers in Steinbach to play the Pistons and the Dauphin Kings travelling to Virden to meet the Oil Capitals. The Swan Valley Stampeders will start the regular season on Saturday, September 23, against the OCN Blizzard.
All 11 teams in the MJHL will play a balanced schedule, which entails three games at home and three games on the road against each opponent.
Prior to the regular season, the MJHL will be conducting its first-ever Prospect Development Camp, running from July 27 – 30 at the Seven Oaks Arena. The camp will feature list players born in 2000 and 2001 from each MJHL club and will focus on preparing the players for a successful junior hockey career and helping them transition from minor hockey, to elite junior hockey in the MJHL and beyond.
Another highlight this coming season will be the Old Dutch Player Showcase, scheduled Dec. 11-13 at the Bell MTS IcePlex in Winnipeg. The event is now in its 15th year. This highly popular event attracts scouts from many levels of hockey: NHL, NCAA, WHL and CIS.
