Title	Diverging North American Brands: 1920–45
Abstract	On July 19, 1919, a group of influential Anglophone Montrealers met at the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association rooms on Peel Street to launch the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association (QAHA). The author points out that over the next two decades the QAHA’s constituency broadened beyond this base; so, too, did its leadership, shared roughly equally between Anglophones and Francophones. He notes that historians have largely ignored the QAHA, and the few references to it tends to link the QAHA’s past to the turbulent era of post-1960s language politics. The author argues that the linguistic tensions in the era of Quebec’s Quiet Revolution should not be read backward. In the 1920s and 1930s, the QAHA was a functionally bilingual organization. The author outlines the early decades of the QAHA and its difficulities with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA), which contradicts the notion that these difficulities were based on language.
