The New Brunswick-Prince Edward Island Major Midget Hockey League is a Canadian midget 'AAA' ice hockey league operating in the provinces of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The inter-branch league operates under the supervision of Hockey New Brunswick and Hockey PEI.
History[edit]
The league was created by Hockey New Brunswick and Hockey PEI in 2002 to provide a more competitive development league for both provinces. The new league replaced the existing major midget leagues in both provinces. Both branches continue to operate their respective minor midget leagues as feeder leagues for the major midget league.
Upon its formation, it was decided that the league would have six teams – four from New Brunswick and two from PEI. The five of the six original teams are still in the league today while the Kensington Wild joined in the 2013–2014 season.

The respective provincial champions qualify for the Telus Cup Atlantic Regional Championship, where they compete for a berth in the national championship.[1]
