The 2011–12 season was the Manitoba Junior Hockey League's (MJHL) 95th season of operation.

Season highlights

  • The Winnipeg Saints relocate to the St. James Civic Centre in Winnipeg. This is the final season for the Saints, who permanently relocate to Virden after season's end.[1]
  • The Portage Terriers switch to the Addison division.
  • The Terriers defeat the Saints in the final to win their second consecutive Turnbull Cup. The Saints are the first (and only) team in MJHL history to win a playoff round as a crossover team.
  • The Neepawa Natives are involved in a hazing scandal after a 15-year-old player comes forward with allegations of sexual-based rookie hazing in the team's locker room. A $5,000 fine and 18 player suspensions are handed down by the league following an investigation. Neepawa's head coach/general manager and assistant coach are later handed indefinite suspensions. The club gains further negative publicity when they refuse to release or trade the player who brought the issue to light.[2]
