What the competition is
The league belongs to the Canadian Hockey League’s major-junior structure alongside the OHL and WHL. Historical archive material can legitimately retain its old name, but a current identity page should explain the change. The Maritimes reference reflects a wider geographic context than Quebec alone. Its club competition is separate from Canadian national-team hockey.
Following the competition
Keep the season and full club names with a pairing. A search using the former name can still find useful historical records, whose dates should remain visible. For Australian planning, use the actual arena city and local date; the league’s regional reach should not be collapsed into a single assumed offset. Results belong to this league rather than Europe’s similarly abbreviated CHL competition.
