Brandon would have remained in the Manitoba Junior league, which they
dominated during the mid-60s. They won three or four championships in a row
during the middle of the decade, which is probably why they were in favour
of the Major Junior idea.
I'm not sure about Flin Flon, since I don't think they've ever played in
Manitoba (despite actually being there).
