The Estrie-Mauricie Junior AA Hockey League is a Canadian junior ice hockey league in the Estrie and Mauricie Regions of Quebec. The league is sanctioned by Hockey Quebec and Hockey Canada and its winner competes annually for the Coupe Dodge.

History

In 2008-09 and 2009-10, the EMJAAHL became just the Estrie Junior AA Hockey League as Mauricie did not enter any teams to play.

In 2010-11, the Estrie League played a joint season with Richelieu Junior AA Hockey League to increase the field of play. Mauricie returned to the fold in 2011-12 and the EMJAAHL was restored.

2006 Coupe Dodge

The Plessisville V. Boutin were 2006 Estrie-Mauricie playoff champions. With their victory, the V. Boutin gained entry into the Coupe Dodge tournament in Gatineau, Quebec. In the preliminary round, Plessisville defeated the Delta Ducs 4-2 and the Jonquiere Marquis 4-3. In the elimination round, Plessisville began by defeating the Suroit Express 3-2 in overtime. In the quarter-final, they defeated the West Island Royals 4-2 and in the semi-final they beat the Trois-Pistoles Rebels 9-0. Their wins set them up for a rematch against Jonquiere for the Quebec Junior AA Crown. The game would go into overtime, but Plessisville V. Boutin would win 1-0 in the extra frame to take home the Coupe Dodge.[1]

2010 Coupe Dodge

Windsor Momo Sports Excellence would win the 2010 Estrie-Mauricie title and gain entry into the Coupe Dodge tournament in the rival town of Plessisville, Quebec. They would begin the provincial championship by defeating La Baie Nationals 6-0. They then beat Rivere-du-Loop CIEL FM 3-1. In the elimination they defeated the Suroit Express 6-4 and then the Beauport Harfangs 6-5 in the quarter-final. In the semi-final, Windsor beat the Montreal-Nord Nordiques 5-1 and then beat the Lorraine-Rosemere Nationals in the finals by the same score to clinch the Coupe Dodge as Quebec Junior AA Champions.[2][3]

2015-2016

The Estrie-Mauricie league has decided to suspend its activities for at least one season after the organization of the "Hockey Experts de Sherbrooke" has announced that the team will not be back in 2016-2017. The organizers of the Laurentides-Lanaudière Junior AA Hockey League have agreed to welcome Pétroles Propane A.A. Courchesne de Nicolet, les Draveurs Trois-Rivières and les Braves de Farnham.
