1895/96 Manitoba Hockey League
Compiled from the Manitoba Free Press.
Assists and minutes played are unofficial - assigned based on written game summaries.
Note: J. Sheppard started the season with the Victorias, but after being replaced by Merritt,
he moved to the Winnipegs club to play goal for them.At the time, it was scandalous for a
player to play for more than one team in the same year, and this nearly caused the
cancellation of the series.
