Coupe Dodge

The Quebec Provincial Hockey Championship (French: Championnats Provinciaux de Hockey, known as Coupe Chevrolet, or the Chevrolet Cup for commercial reasons) is a provincial championship in the men's and women's amateur ice hockey leagues in Quebec, Canada. This tournament is sanctioned by both Fédération québécoise de hockey sur glace (Hockey Quebec) and Hockey Canada.

History
The first provincial championships organized by Hockey Quebec were presented at Montreal in 1978. The name of the trophy has changed over the years because of sponsorship: Daoust (1978-85), Purlator (1986-88), Chrysler (1989-2002), Dodge (2003-2022), and Chevrolet since 2022. This tournament that determines the top double letter teams ("AA" ) at each level for boys and girls (U7, U9. U11, U13, U15, U18, U21) within the province of Quebec. Generally, the Quebec Provincial Championship extends over four or five days in April of every year.

Men's Provincial Championship
The Dodge Cup is the Quebec Provincial Championship for all age levels represented for U-21 (previously known as Junior B, or "Junior AA" in Quebec) hockey in Canada. Similar provincial championships exist in Ontario (Sutherland Cup), Western Canada (Keystone Cup), Eastern Ontario (Barkley Cup), and Atlantic Canada (Don Johnson Memorial Cup)&mdash;leaving five teams at the end of each year with a shared claim to being the best Junior B team in Canada.

The U-21 "AA" championships began in 1988. In 2006, Hockey Quebec allowed for the Shawville Pontiacs and the Gatineau Mustangs of the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey League to take part in the event, even though they compete in a league based in Ontario. In 2008, Hockey Quebec allowed for two regional champions to share the Dodge Cup.

In Québec, the U-21 "AA" classification is the equivalent of Junior "B" in the rest of Canada. The 2008 year marked a decision by Hockey Quebec to allow two separate tournaments with two separate champions.
