This is the 1968-69 Manitoba Junior Hockey League Season.
League Notes
The MJHL merged with the Central Manitoba Junior Hockey League creating a North Division to house all 4 new teams, the Selkirk Steelers, Portage Terriers, Dauphin Kings, and Kenora Muskies (who operated out of Fort Garry the previous year, as the Fort Garry Frontiermen). The existing teams created the South Division.
