The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (French: la Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec, abbreviated QMJHL in English, LHJMQ in French) is one of the three major junior ice hockey leagues which constitute the Canadian Hockey League. Due to its cumbersome name, the league is often referred to as "The Q."

Introduction

The QMJHL is the smallest of the three Canadian junior leagues in numbers of teams. Its teams are based in the Canadian provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island. The has also had former members based in the provinces of Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador as well as in the American states of Maine and New York . The commissioner of the QMJHL is Gilles Courteau.

The President's Cup is the championship trophy of the league. The QMJHL champion then goes on to compete in the Memorial Cup against the OHL and WHL champions, and the CHL host team.

The QMJHL has traditionally adopted a rapid and offensive style of hockey. "The Q" is known for producing more high-quality offensive players and goalies than defencemen. Former QMJHL players hold many of the Canadian Hockey League's career and single season offensive records.

Hockey Hall of Fame alumni of the QMJHL include Mario Lemieux, Guy Lafleur, Ray Bourque, Pat LaFontaine, Mike Bossy, Denis Savard, Michel Goulet, Luc Robitaille, and goaltender Patrick Roy.

History

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League was founded in 1969, through the merger of best teams from the existing Provincial Junior League and the Metropolitan Montreal Junior League, declaring themselves a "major junior" league. Of the original eleven QMJHL teams, six came from the PJHL and five from the MMJHL. The Cornwall Royals, from Cornwall, Ontario, near the Quebec border, had transferred from in the Central Junior A Hockey League to the Metropolitan League. The Rosemont National, Laval Saints, Cornwall Royals, Saint-Jérôme Alouettes and Verdun Maple Leafs transferred from the MMJHL. The six teams from the QJHL were the Drummondville Rangers, Quebec Remparts, Shawinigan Bruins, Sherbrooke Castors, Sorel Éperviers, and the Trois-Rivières Ducs .

From the first season in 1969–70, only Shawinigan remains in the same city with an uninterrupted history, although the team's name has changed to the Cataractes.

In 1972 the QMJHL had been in operation for three years, and wanted a team in the province's largest city - Montreal. In 1962 Montreal Junior Canadiens had received permission from the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association to play in the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA). The QMJHL wanted the Juniors out of the OHA. It threatened a lawsuit to force the team out of the OHA into the Quebec-based league. Over the summer of 1972, the OHA granted the Junior Habs a "one-year suspension" of operations, while team ownership transferred the team and players into the QMJHL, renaming themselves the Montreal Bleu Blanc Rouge in the process. The OHA then reactivated the suspended franchise for the 1973–74 season in Kingston, Ontario, under new ownership and with new players, calling the team the Kingston Canadians.

QMJHL teams have won the Memorial Cup eight times since 1969, with the Granby Prédateurs, the Hull Olympiques and the Rimouski Océanic each winning once, the Quebec Remparts winning twice (once in their first edition 1969–1985, and once in their second edition 1997–present) and the Cornwall Royals winning three times.

Starting in 1994, the QMJHL began to expand further east, outside of Quebec. The "Q" filled the void in Atlantic Canada after the exodus of American Hockey League franchises, when the AHL had a strong presence in the 1980s and 1990s; all of the Eastern Division cities save for Acadie-Bathurst are former homes of AHL franchises. Teams in Atlantic Canada comprise the entire Eastern Division of the QMJHL.

In recent seasons, the QMJHL has been scouting players from the Atlantic Canada region along with a surge in players coming out of the New England area.
