The Winnipeg Monarchs (formerly the Winnipeg Freeze) are a Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL) team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The team was founded in 2020 and is owned by 50 Below Sports + Entertainment Inc, owners of another MJHL club, the Winnipeg Blues. During their abbreviated inaugural season, the Freeze played their home games at The Rink Training Centre in the Rural Municipality of Macdonald. The Freeze relocated to the Dakota Community Centre in the Winnipeg neighbourhood of St. Vital for the 2021–22 season. Since the 2022-23 season, the team has played its home games at Hockey for All Centre.
The team initially played as the Winnipeg Freeze. On April 17, 2025, the team announced that it would rebrand as the Winnipeg Monarchs beginning in the 2025–26 season, reviving the name of the former Winnipeg Monarchs who now play as the Winnipeg Blues.
