League notes

During the summer of 1967, the MAHA agreed to allow three teams to enter the WCHL: the Brandon Wheat Kings and the Flin Flon Bombers from the MJHL, and the Ben Hatskin-owned Winnipeg Jets. Hatskin also owned three MJHL teams. Part of the agreement was the continuation of the MJHL; Hatskin sold his three teams to local interests, and the Winnipeg Warriors became the West Kildonan North Stars, the St. James Braves became the St. James Canadians, and the Winnipeg Rangers became the St. Boniface Saints. These three teams joined the Winnipeg Monarchs to form the new MJHL. The Selkirk Steelers however joined the Central Manitoba Junior Hockey League.

The league dropped the final three games of the regular season in order to accommodate Memorial Cup playoff elimination series within the province with the Central Manitoba Junior Hockey League.
