The Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) is a Junior 'A' ice hockey league operating in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The MJHL is one of eleven Junior 'A' Hockey Leagues in Canada and is a member of the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL).
The MJHL consists of 11 teams in two divisions, five in the Addison Division and six in the Sher-Wood Division. Each team plays 62 games during the regular season and the top four teams in each division qualify for league playoffs. The playoffs are an elimination tournament consisting of three rounds of best-of-seven series. The first two rounds determine which team from each division will advance to the final round. The winner of that series becomes the MJHL and Turnbull Cup champion.
The winner of the MJHL playoffs (Turnbull Cup) continues on to play in the Anavet Cup in a best-of-seven series against the champion of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The winner of the Anavet Cup will compete in the Junior "A" National Championship Tournament for the Royal Bank Cup.
