MJHL promotional video
The MJHL has produced a new video aimed at promoting the league and attracting/developing players. The new video can be viewed by visiting the home page of the MJHL’s website.

“The video will serve as another tool in recruitment and development of players within our league,” said Commissioner Kim Davis, who narrated the video. “The video was produced by The Film Collective, a group of creative minded individuals based in Winkler, MB, who did an outstanding job on this project.”

The footage in the video was obtained this past summer at the MJHL’s Prospect Development Camp which featured the top 16 and 17 year-old players in Manitoba. The video also features testimonials from former MJHL players Peter Stoykewych (Winnipeg Blues/Manitoba Moose) and Zach Whitecloud (Virden/Bemidji State).

“The MJHL expects its newly released promotional video will have a meaningful impact on its viewers and will illustrate the positive role the MJHL can have on the development journey of young hockey players,” said Davis.
