The Selkirk Steelers posted the best record in the regular season with 49 win and 102 points. The Steelers, however, could not advance past the first round, as they were defeated by the Winnipeg Blues, the eventual Turnbull Cup champions. This was the Blues' 17th MJHL championship in franchise history.

The Winnipeg Blues and Dauphin Kings both participated in the 2014 Western Canada Cup in Dauphin. The Kings advanced as far as the 2014 Royal Bank Cup semi-finals before being eliminated.

  • This is the last year of divisional play in the MJHL. The league moves to a one-division format next year.
