2019-20 MJAHL season



This is the 2019-20 Maritime Junior A Hockey League season. This is the league's 53rd season dating back the league's founding in 1967 as the Metro Valley Junior Hockey League.

Suspending of Play
The Canadian Junior Hockey League announced Thursday that effective Friday, March 13, all games and hockey-related activity involving its member clubs have been cancelled, until further notice, due to the continued threat of the global COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic as well as potential exposure and contamination of its players, team staff members, on and off-ice officials, volunteers and fans.

Membership Changes

 * On April 15, 2019 the ownership of the St. Stephen Aces announced they would be selling the team. The league would announce that the team would be relocated to the Grant-Harvery Centre in Fredericton, New Brunswick for the 2019-20 season. The team would be renamed the Fredericton Red Wings after other junior teams that played in Fredericton during the 1960's and the 1980's.
