Although it will unfortunately not be awarded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Memorial Cup remains deeply rooted in Manitoba Junior Hockey League history.
For fifty-three seasons, 1919-1971, the Manitoba Junior Hockey League clubs competed for the opportunity to earn the National title as Memorial Cup champions. The MJHL which began in 1917-18 as the Winnipeg & District Junior Hockey League until 1933, showed great success throughout five decades with a total of 18 appearances and 11 titles earned by member clubs.
