History
Four teams competed in the inaugural 2014 season, which began in late May. The Vermont Jr. Voyageurs (6-0) finished undefeated in the regular season to earn a playoff bye into the championship series. Second-seed Montreal Shamrocks (4-2) defeated Kanehsatake (2-4) in two-straight games (12-1, 13-3) to advance. In the best-of 3 final, Vermont won Game 1 at home 11-7. Game 2 was played in Montreal, with the Jr. Voyageurs clinching the first-ever MJLL title with an 11-6 victory.
In Winter of 2015 it was announced that three of the four MJLL teams would merge with the Iroquois Nations Junior B Lacrosse League to form a new seven-team league (renamed First Nations Junior B Lacrosse League). On May 16, 2015 the Montreal Shamrocks won the first-ever FNJBLL game, 6-5 over Kanehsatake Warriors. The game was played at Aréna Kevin-Lowe in Lachute, Québec.
