The New Brunswick Junior Hockey League was formed out of the ashes of the New Brunswick Junior C Hockey League which disbanded after the 2010-11 season when all but one of the league's four teams folded and the remaining team, the Hampton Hurricanes moved up to the New Brunswick Junior B Hockey League. The Junior B league played through the 2011-12 season and then was renamed the New Brunswick Junior Hockey League as a mixed level league (Junior B and Junior C). The first season had eight teams with four playing at each level. The league lost the Miramichi River Maniacs after the 2012-13 season and added the Kent Koyotes and the Fundy Cobras (based out of Blacks Harbour) to the league for the 2013-14 season.
For 2014-15 the league added the Sackville Storm and the Sunny Corner Thunder as expansion teams. Sackville as a junior C team and Sunny Corner is a Junior B team.
For 2015-16 the Hampton Hurricanes changed their name to the Southern Sting which coincided with a move to the Quispamsis QPlex. The league also lost the Fundy Cobras and Sackville Storm, when both teams folded.
The league would announce the addition of the Richibuto Rangers to the league on May 24, 2021.
With the present set up of the league the Junior B champion advances to the Don Johnson Memorial Cup and the Junior C champion advances to the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championship.
