The 2007–08 GMHL season was the 2nd season of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League (GMHL). The thirteen teams of the GMHL will play 42-game schedules.

Come February, the top teams of the league will play down for the Russell Cup, emblematic of the grand championship of the GMHL. Since the GMHL is independent from Hockey Canada and the Canadian Junior Hockey League, this is where the GMHL's season ends.
