History
In the Summer of 2012, the Richelieu Junior AA Hockey League changed its name to the Metropolitaine Junior AA Hockey League to reflect the diversity of teams that had entered the league. In the summer of 2018, the league expanded from 3 regions to 5 regions. Adding now Mauricie and Lac Saint-Louis in the league. In the summer of 2015, the league added a new rule that is, no hits are allowed in the centre of the ice, which decreases chances of injuries. That makes it the only league in the province with that rule.
In 2021 Laurentides-Launaudière League joined de LHMJAA. From this league two team joined : Monarques de Mirabel and Patriotes de Saint-Eustache.
