History of hockey in Quebec

On March 3, 1875, the first recorded indoor ice hockey game took place at the Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal. Organized by James George Alwyin Creighton, who captained one of the teams, the game was between two nine-member teams of the Victoria Skating Club, using a wooden 'puck'. There were numerous games played in Quebec between 1875 and 1882. The "Montreal Rules" for ice hockey were published in The Montreal Gazette on February 27, 1877. James Creighton is thought to be the person responsible for supplying the rules to the newspaper. The first games in Quebec City took place in 1880.

There was an ice hockey tournament played at the Montreal Winter Carnival from 1883-1889. The 1886 Carnival was not held due to a smallpox outbreak, but a Dominion Hockey Championship was organized instead. The Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (AHAC) was a championship founded by the Victoria Hockey Club (Montreal), Ottawa Hockey Club, McGill University, Montreal AAA, and the Montreal Crystals on December 8, 1886, and remained in existence until 1898. In 1888 the AHAC introduced junior and intermediate divisions. The Quebec Hockey Club joined the competition in 1889. The AHAC was challenge-based until 1893, when an eight-game, double round-robin schedule was adopted.

The Montreal Hockey Club won the Stanley Cup in the first year it was up for competition in 1893. Teams from Montreal were very successful in Stanley Cup challenges, holding the cup frequently up to 1910. After the demise of the AHAC in 1898, teams from Quebec joined the Canadian Amateur Hockey League, which lasted until 1905. The CAHL was succeeded by the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association.

In November 1909, the ECHA dissolved over the plans of the Montreal Wanderers to move to an arena with fewer (revenue paying) spectator seats. The three other teams announced that they were leaving the ECHA, creating the Canadian Hockey Association. The Wanderers helped form a competing league, the National Hockey Association (NHA). The CHA played for less than two weeks, merging with the NHA in January 1910. The NHA was replaced by the National Hockey League in 1917, and the Montreal Canadiens and Wanderers jumped to the new league.

Senior hockey first came to Quebec and teams from the province began competing for the Allan Cup when the Interprovincial Hockey League was organized in 1908-09. The league featured teams from Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. In 1910, Sherbrooke, champions of the St. Lawrence Hockey League, challenged for the cup. The Art Ross Cup was awarded to the Quebec senior champions from 1912-1920.
