History

The HTJHL operates exclusively in the southeastern part of the province. It was created in 1987 to complement the now-defunct senior level Hanover-Taché Hockey League, which was succeeded by the Carillon Senior Hockey League.

The number of teams has fluctuated throughout the years, with a high of ten teams competing in 2011-12.

Île-des-Chênes Elks had much success during their 17-season tenure winning the league title six times.

Steinbach Huskies are the most successful club claiming the HTJHL championship ten times (1989, 1990, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2023, 2024).
