2019-20 NBJHL Season

This is the 2019-20 New Brunswick Junior Hockey League season. This is the league's 10th season under this name and 11th season overall. The league is a mixed level Junior B and Junior C league as the league came about as the result of the collapse of the New Brunswick Junior C Hockey League in 2011. That league's remaining team, the Hampton Hurricanes moved up to play in the then New Brunswick Junior B Hockey League. Three additional Junior C level teams wanted to join the league for the 2012-13 season and the league was subsequently renamed. With the present set up of the league; the Junior "B" champion advances to the 2020 Don Johnson Memorial Cup and the Junior "C" champion advances to the 2020 Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championships.

The league plays a limited interlocking schedule with the 4 teams in the Prince Edward Island based Island Junior Hockey League. These games count in both league's standings.

The league playoffs would be cancelled on March 12th when Hockey Canada cancelled all activity under its' sanctioning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
