The Midget Football League of Manitoba (MFLM) enters its 56th year following a 2011 season that saw the St. Vital Mustangs capture its first MFLM Championship since 2008. The 2010 season also saw further expansion into rural Manitoba, with the league welcoming the Interlake Thunder, located in Stonewall, Manitoba.
In 2011, the MFLM consisted of eight teams- Eastman Raiders, Fort Garry Lions, Greendell Falcons, North Winnipeg Nomads, Pembina Valley Cornhuskeers, St. Vital Mustangs, and Transcona Nationals, plus the league's newest member, the Interlake Thunder. Other clubs previously represented during the past decade include the St. James Rods and East Side Eagles.
For the fourteenth time in four years, the MFLM's YouTube channel was one of the 100 most-viewed channels in Canada (#35 on 10/10/11). As of December 2010, the MFLM's online highlight videos have been viewed more than 750,000 times.
The MFLM's regular season runs from mid-August through mid-October with games typically scheduled on Saturday afternoons. Semi-finals weekend is played at Canad Inns Stadium, as is the MFLM Championship as part of Football Manitoba's Championship Weekend. The North Winnipeg Nomads often play host to Saturday night home games under the lights at Charlie Krupp Stadium, as do the St. Vital Mustangs at Maple Grove Park.
Known under different names throughout its history such as the Manitoba Midget Football League and Manitoba Bantam Football League, the current MFLM welcomes the newest graduates of the Manitoba Minor Football Association's Bantam League and the Pembina Valley Minor Football Association.
