1970-71 MJHL Season

This is the 1970-71 Manitoba Junior Hockey League Season. =CAHA Notes= The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association divided Junior A Hockey into two categories, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 was limited to only three leagues, the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and the Western Canada Hockey League. The remaining Junior A Leagues fell into Tier 2. Only Tier 1 Leagues were allowed to play for the Memorial Cup, Canada’s Junior A Championship.

In May 1970, Frank McKinnon tabled a motion at the CAHA annual general meeting to allow the remaining Junior A Leagues to compete for a national championship. The motion was carried and the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association donated the Manitoba Centennial Trophy, in celebration of Manitoba's centennial (1970).

In time, Tier 1 would become known as Major Junior, and Tier 2 as simply Junior A.
