Metropolitan Junior Hockey League

The Metropolitan Junior Hockey League (MJHL) was an American Tier III Junior ice hockey league with 16 teams (as of 2014/15 season) throughout the eastern seaboard of the United States. The MJHL is part of the Atlantic Metropolitan Hockey League organization. The league does place a number of players into NCAA Colleges, with most going to Division III, and some to Division I.

League's Demise
The league was decimated when the Eastern Hockey League announced they were revamping their elite league for the 2016-17 and adding 8 teams from the Met League. This left 6 members in the league for 2016-17. The North American Hockey League announced that the league would take control of the league and it was to be renamed the North American 3 Atlantic Hockey League for the 2016-17 season. This is similar to what the NAHL did when they created the NA3EHL out of the Northern States Junior Hockey League a few years earlier.
