History
Dating back to at least the early 1950s, the NBJHL was an elite Maritime league. In 1983, the league was in competition with two local American Hockey League teams and folded.
The NBJBHL was forged from the synergy of five regional New Brunswick Jr. B leagues after the demise of the NBJHL, but it folded in 2003.
In 2003, the league NBJHL was the primary Jr. league in New Brunswick, a Jr. C league. Starting in 2007, the League was allowed to send its top team to the Don Johnson Cup as a Jr. B representative. In 2009, the league failed to send their champion.
In 2009, a group of teams fled the NBJHL to form their own Jr. B league, the New Brunswick Junior B Hockey League, leaving the NBJHL with 6 teams and as a Jr. C League.
In the Summer of 2011, all but Hampton folded. The league ceased operations and the Hurricanes moved up to Junior B.
