The 2002/03 season was the seventh regular season of the Ligue de hockey semi-professionnelle du Québec (LHSPQ). The 15 teams were supposed to play 52 games each in the regular season , but the schedule had to be changed due to the early, financially-related departure of the Rapides de LaSalle . The team with the highest points of the regular season were the Prolab de Thetford Mines , while the Chiefs de Laval won the Coupe Futura for the second time in the play-offs .
