Questions and answers

Who is favoured to win the 2026–27 President Cup?

Val-d'Or Foreurs, at 38%, ahead of Québec Remparts (17%), Victoriaville Tigres (17%) and Saint John Sea Dogs (7%). That's from 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season with PodiumOracle's current ratings, updated 12 November 2026.

What are the odds for the next QMJHL games?

According to PodiumOracle's model: Québec Remparts at Saint John Sea Dogs (12 November 2026): Québec Remparts 51%; Baie-Comeau Drakkar at Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (13 November 2026): Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 68%; Drummondville Voltigeurs at Shawinigan Cataractes (13 November 2026): Drummondville Voltigeurs 57%. Every upcoming one's chances are on this page and update until the start.

How accurate are PodiumOracle's QMJHL predictions?

On 1,468 games from held-back seasons (2024–25 to 2026–27), which the model never saw while it was tuned, the side it favoured won 63% of the time. Its log loss was 0.632, against 0.691 for the base rate and 0.659 for recent form. Against the betting markets on the same finished games, its log loss was 0.623 against the bookmakers' 0.605 over 345 games (lower is better).

How are the QMJHL predictions made?

Every team has a rating that moves after each result, by more when the result was a surprise. The gap between two ratings, plus home advantage, gives each game's chance, and the rest of the season is simulated 10,000 times, with the league's own format, for the President Cup odds. The settings are chosen on older seasons and tested on the most recent ones.
