Hockey Québec is the governing body of all ice hockey in Quebec, Canada. Hockey Québec is a branch of Hockey Canada.
History[edit]
Hockey Québec was organized in 1976 to take over from the various organizations governing hockey in Quebec, such as the Quebec Amateur Hockey Association which had existed since the 1910s. Hockey Québec is formed by 15 different regional associations.
Quebec Amateur Hockey Association[edit]
The Quebec Amateur Hockey Association (QAHA) was founded at the Montreal AAA club house on January 19, 1919, with Hartland MacDougall elected as president and W. R. Granger as the vice-president. The association affiliated with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, and required Amateur Athletic Union of Canada registration cards for all players which prevented any professionals from joining. The Interscholastic Hockey League joined the Montreal City Amateur Hockey League under the jurisdiction of the QAHA and became eligible for the Allan Cup playoffs as the senior ice hockey champions of Canada, and the Junior Amateur Hockey Association also joined the QAHA and became eligible for the Memorial Cup playoffs as the junior ice hockey champions of Canada.[1][2]
