Metropolitan Junior Hockey League

The Metropolitan Junior Hockey League (MJHL) was an American Tier III Junior ice hockey league with 16 teams (as of 2014/15 season) throughout the eastern seaboard of the United States. The MJHL is part of the Atlantic Metropolitan Hockey League organization.
 
The league does place a number of players into NCAA Colleges, with most going to Division III, and some to Division Ihttp://www.atlantichockey.org/mjhl_sub.htm?content=mjhl_commitments MJHL 2009 College Commitments.
==League's Demise==
The league was decimated when the Eastern Hockey League announced they were revamping their elite league for the 2016-17 and adding 8 teams from the Met League.  This left 6 members in the league for 2016-17.  The North American Hockey League announced that the league would take control of the league and it was to be renamed the North American 3 Atlantic Hockey League for the 2016-17 season.  This is similar to what the NAHL did when they created the NA3EHL out of the Northern States Junior Hockey League a few years earlier.
