2019-20 RVJAHL season

This is the 2019-20 Richelieu Valley Junior A Hockey League season. This is the league's fourth 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. The leagues would separate for the 2019-20 season.
