Hi everyone, after following Section 30's MAHL since its debut, I have decided to make a Quebec-based league in the same universe as the MAHL. This league will be called the Quebec Amateur Hockey League (QAHL) or Ligue Québécoise de Hockey Amateur (LQHA) in French

Backstory of the league 
In the mid-1940s, the success of the MAHL in Minnesota was starting to have repercussions across the North East, most particularly in the province of Quebec. So, as the 1944/45 MAHL season unfolded, many people in Quebec wanted to see a league like that in their province too and the project to create a MAHL-like league in Quebec was born. At the head of this project was Quebec City businessman Charles Bellerose who saw the success of the MAHL himself when he was in Minnesota for a business trip. Montreal, Quebec City and Trois-Rivières were first awarded teams and afterwards, they accepted three other members in Drummondville, Sherbrooke and Shawinigan. The league would begin to play at the same time as the MAHL’s 1945/46 season. A championship trophy for the league was also commissioned by players of all six teams. This new trophy would be called the Coupe Cartier, named after French explorer Jacques Cartier who was the first European to set foot on the territory of Quebec

Uniforms and logos for the teams will come later as will the championship trophy. I hope that I will captivate the readers of this website with my new league
