The 1952–53 season saw only six teams competing in the OHL; the Taisgol Spires, Qabór Phoenix, Hugo Hitmen, Porvaos Condors, Arrecife Pioneers, and Prisamarina Mystics. The CHL was comprised of five; the Santa Maria Blazers, Novo Sierra Rangers, Antakee Monsters, Saqauwee Ceylonianos, and the East Sachia Sharks. The WHL had the most teams out of the three, being comprised of ten, spread across western Tierrador, Porlos, and Asteria. The WHL would remain at 10 until its merger with the OHL in 1972. The Tierradorian Hockey Cup tournament would be reorganized once again, being competed by the champion of the WHL versus the winner of a playoff series between the OHL and CHL champions. This era of hockey would be dominated by the Qabór Phoenix, where they, led by [[Matt Watson]], the first player to score fifty goals in a singular season, would win the cup four straight years from 1951 to 1954 and six straight years from 1959 to 1964. Watson would repeat his record three more times during the Phoenix dynasty.

Despite the massive talent seen throughout the WHL, they would only account for winning two Cups throughout the league's existence; the Ominasky Outlaws in 1955–56, who finished the 72–game regular season with a W-L-T record of 61–6–5 and sweeping the WHL playoffs, and the Topaqoí Wahoo in 1964–65, led by [[Willy Schaefer]], taking down the CHL champion Antakee Monsters in the first non-OHL Finals in Cup history. The CHL would only see one champion, the Santa Maria Blazers in 1965–66. Led by star forward [[~~Fyodor Koshchev~~]], and goaltender~~/Saukhin King~~ [[~~King Apaha'enia|Apaha'enia~~]], the Blazers would take down the Centurions in one of the greatest upsets in Cup history. In 1964, two CHL clubs; the East Sachia Sharks and the Novo Sierra Rangers, were suspended from the league for the 1964–65 season after Ceylonian state investigations found that both clubs were laundering money earned through illegal pyramid schemes. In protest, the Saqauwee Ceylonianos would sit out the second half of the season, leaving the Antakee Monsters and the Santa Maria Blazers as the remaining CHL clubs for the season. For both the 1964–65 and 1965–66 seasons, the OHL and CHL would unofficially merge. The Monsters and Blazers would still play a championship series to decide the champion of Ceylonia, with Antakee winning in 1965 in 7 games, and Santa Maria winning the next year in 5 games.
