1951-52 EPBL

The Eastern League trimmed down to six teams for the 1951-52 season. Gone were Berwick and Harrisburg. The Reading Rangers dropped but were replaced by the Mountaineers and York Victory was replaced by a team sponsored by Howard's Cleaners who would briefly move to Ashland in January before moving again to Hazleton a week later. They would completely from out by season's end, forfeiting all their remaining games. Defending champions Sunbury fought with Pottsville the entire way with Pottsville claiming the regular season title by a single game. Pottsville would meet Sunbury in the Cup finals and win in 3 games.
