2018-19 RivJAHL Season

This is the 2018-19 Rivers Junior A Hockey League season.
This was to be the league's fourth season under this name. Many of these teams played in the Rive-Sud Junior A Hockey League for the 2014-15 season. The league appears to have separated into two leagues for the 2015-16 season. The league was planning on playing a limited inter-league schedule with the Richelieu Valley Junior A Hockey League with each team playing either 4 or 5 games against the RVJAHL teams. The leagues appear to have reunified under the Richelieu Valley Junior A Hockey League name.

*The St-Remi Dragons return to the league after having dropped out during the 2016-17 season
