The 1992–93 MetJHL season is the 2nd season of the Metro Junior A Hockey League (MetJHL). The 13 teams of the Fullan and Bauer Divisions competed in a 48-game schedule. The top 6 teams in each division made the playoffs.

The winner of the MetJHL playoffs, the Wexford Raiders, could not proceed further in the National playdowns as the MetJHL was not a member of the Ontario Hockey Association. However, the Raiders were permitted to play a 2-game series for charity against the OHA's Central Junior League's champion, the Barrie Colts. The Raiders won both games.

Changes

Aurora Eagles join MetJHL from CJBHL.
Mimico Monarchs move and become the Richmond Hill Riot.

Exhibition Series vs. CJAHL

The Barrie Colts of the OHA's Central Junior A League and the Wexford Raiders of the Metro League played a pair of exhibition games head-to-head for charity. The purpose of the games was to match the probably champions of the two leagues head-to-head to see where each league's talent level stood if the OHA was to allow both leagues in as sanctioned Junior A leagues for the 1993–94 season. Wexford won both games by narrow margins, but the second game was marred by an incident involving a fight, initiated by the Barrie Colts, that spilled into the crowd.

Wexford Raiders defeated Barrie Colts (CJAHL) 7-6

Wexford Raiders defeated Barrie Colts (CJAHL) 4-3
