The MFMHL was founded in 2008 after an Ad-hoc committee was struck by Hockey Manitoba to develop a Constitution for Regional Female Midget Hockey that would provide an elite level for female players within Hockey Manitoba's 10 Regions to aspire to. The Committee worked for several months to develop the constitution and after a final meeting in Portage la Prairie where all Regions were invited to review and endorse the new constitution. It was ratified by Hockey Manitoba in the Spring of 2008.
