Quebec Junior Hockey League (1949-1955)

==History==
This was the new name of the Junior Amateur Hockey Association (JAHA). It started up in 1949-50.
The league had a rather uneven history.
The JAHA champion won the Memorial Cup in 1948-49 and the Quebec Junior League champion won it in 1949-50. However after that there were no more Memorial Cup wins.
The popularity of the league waned after 1950. It competed against a the very popular Montreal Canadiens and the Quebec Senior Hockey League.The number of teams dropped from 7 in 1949-50 to 3 in 1954-55. Interlocking play with the OHA Junior A League was introduced.
Finally on August 30, 1955 the Trois Rivieres Flambeaux disbanded after the Trois-Rivières Lions were admitted into the minor pro Quebec Hockey League. The league, down to just two teams, disbanded.
The Quebec Junior League was finished for over a decade.
The Montreal Junior Canadiens became an independent (non-league) team in 1955-56 while the Quebec Frontenacs joined the lower-level Saguenay-Quebec Junior League.
