Sign in to edit

The 1999–2000 QMJHL season was the 31st season in the history of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The league granted the Montreal Rocket an expansion franchise, returning a team to the most populous city in Quebec. The QMJHL split into four divisions, retaining the names Lebel and Dilio for its conferences. The Lebel conference was split into the West and Central divisions, and the Dilio Conference was split into the East and Maritime divisions.

The overtime loss statistic is adopted by the Canadian Hockey League. The QMJHL had previously experiment with a single point awarded for an overtime loss in the 1984–85 QMJHL season. Sixteen teams played 72 games each in the schedule.

Brad Richards of the Rimouski Océanic was the top scorer in the league, won the regular season and playoff MVP awards, and three other individual awards at the season's end. Richards helped Rimouski finish first overall in the regular season winning their first Jean Rougeau Trophy, and their first President's Cup, defeating the Hull Olympiques in the finals.
