1965–66 MJHL season
# 1965–66 MJHL season

Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) commissioner Jimmy Dunn implemented an automatic one-game minimum suspension for any player who received a match penalty as of the 1965–66 season. He felt that professional hockey influenced fisticuffs in junior hockey and said that, "Any time there's a big fight in the National Hockey League, the kids drop their sticks and put up their dukes in the next game. It happens almost every time".

## Champion

On March 18, 1966, at the Winnipeg Arena, the Winnipeg Rangers won the Turnbull Memorial Trophy as MJHL champs.
