2018-19 RVJAHL Season

This is the 2018-19 Richelieu Valley Junior A Hockey League season.  This is the league's third season under this name. The league was known as the Rive-Sud Junior A Hockey League until the 2015-16 season. The league's ten members were scheduled to play a limited interlocking schedule with the Rivers Junior A Hockey League with each of the teams playing a total of four games against their 7 teams, but the leagues merged under the Richelieu Valley Junior A Hockey League name.

Standings
The league (along with most junior leagues in Quebec) uses what is called a Fair Play Point which is a bonus point in the standings if the team meets certain requirements in terms of avoiding penalties.
