Manitoba Hockey Association (MHA) var en canadisk ishockeyliga som var i virksomhet i årene 1896 til 1923, først som en amatørliga, og deretter som en profesjonell liga i årene 1906–1909 under navnet Manitoba Professional Hockey League. I åren 1908–1923 gikk ligaen under navnet Manitoba Hockey League. Antall deltakende lag varierte mellom to og seks. Winnipeg Victorias vant ligaen flest ganger med sine 15 mesterskap.
Historie
Manitoba Hockey Association ble dannet i 1892 med de tre deltakende lagene Winnipeg Victorias, Winnipeg Hockey Club og Fort Osborne Rifles. Winnipeg Victorias og Winnipeg HC var de to eneste lagene som var med i ligaen i alle dens ti første år, og Victorias vant ligaen alle disse årene. I 1896[1] og 1901[2] vant også Victorias utfordrerpokalen Stanley Cup siden laget vant mot Montreal Victorias fra AHAC og Montreal Shamrocks fra CAHL.
Ligaen spilte som Manitoba Hockey Association fram til og med sesongen 1905–06, de to siste sesongene med fem deltakende lag, siden lag fra Manitoba & Northwestern Hockey Association (MNWHA) da disse ble slått sammen. Fra 1906 til 1909 var virksomheten profesjonell med navnet Manitoba Professional Hockey League. Sesongen 1906–07 vant Kenora Thistles fra Kenora i det nordvestre Ontario ligaen og utfordret deretter Montreal Wanderers fra ECAHA om Stanley Cup i januar 1907. Kenora Thistles vant utfordrerpokalen med sifrene 4-2 og 8-6 etter blant annet syv mål av venstrevingen Tommy Phillips.[3] Mesterlaget fra 1908, Winnipeg Maple Leafs var det siste laget fra ligaen til å spille om Stanley Cup i mars 1908, men laget tapte mot Montreal Wanderers med sifrene 5-11 og 3-9,[4] og etter sesongen 1908–09 ble MPHL lagt ned.
Sesongen 1908–09 startet Manitoba Hockey League opp som amatørliga, samtidig som MPHL ble lagt ned og lagene i MHL spilte i stedet om amatørmesterskapet Allan Cup. Sesongene 1913–14 og 1916–17 gikk ligaen under navnet Winnipeg Amateur Hockey League (WAHL), og sesongen 1917–18 under navnet Manitoba Military Hockey League (MMHL) på grunn av spillernes deltakelse i første verdenskrig. Sesongen 1917–18 tok lagene i tillegg navn etter store slag på vestfronten, som Ypres, Somme og Vimy.
Det islandsk-canadiske laget Winnipeg Falcons som spilte i ligaen, vant under ledelse av sin stjernespiller og lagkaptein Frank Fredrickson, MHL i 1920 og deretter også Allan Cup samme året. Som canadiske amatørmestere fikk laget deretter representere det canadiske landslaget under ishockeyturneringen under sommer-OL i 1920 i Antwerpen der laget vant gull.
MHL spilte fram til og med sesongen 1922–23.
