The 2020-21 Manitoba U18 AAA Hockey League season begins Friday, October 16th.

Following parameters set by Hockey Manitoba and the Provincial Health Authority, the league has prepared a significantly modified schedule. Teams will play a reduced schedule of 36 games in two phases.

To accommodate potential regional health authority restriction increases during the season, the league will divide its member clubs into three divisions: West is aligned with the Prairie Mountain Health Region; Central is aligned with the Southern Health and Interlake-Eastman Health Regions and East is aligned with the Winnipeg Health Region and Northwestern Ontario.

The Eastman Selects are in the Central Division with Interlake Lightning, Pembina Valley Hawks and Central Plains Capitals.

The three Winnipeg teams - the Bruins, Thrashers & Wild along with the Kenora Thistles comprise the East Division.

The West Division consists of the Parkland Rangers, Yellowhead Chiefs, Brandon Wheat Kings and Southwest Cougars.

The Norman Northstars schedule will differ significantly from other member clubs.
