This is the 1952-53 Quebec Junior Hockey League season: The St Jerome Aigles folded for financial reasons. They were competing against the St Jerome Alouettes in the Provincial Senior League. The Montreal Nationale also folded because they could not compete against the Junior Canadiens. The Granby Royals, who did very poorly at the gate, moved back to Montreal. The team did not fold because that would have reduced the league to three teams which was unacceptable.
