ChatGPT predicts next 20 QMJHL champions

Are the Sherbrooke Phoenix poised for a big playoff run? 

I recently came across this post that asked ChatGPT to predict the next 75 NBA champions, which even included some expansion teams winning down the road. So what does ChatGPT think about the QMJHL?

I asked ChatGPT to predict the next 20 QMJHL champions and the answers were, unsurprisingly, quite interesting. The results included picking the Phoenix – who currently sit ninth overall in the QMJHL standings – as this year's league champion.

2025 - Sherbrooke Phoenix (Recent strong performance and great young talent) 

2026 - Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (Strong history and ability to reload) 

2027 - Halifax Mooseheads (A strong franchise with solid prospects) 

2028 - Quebec Remparts (A team with great fan support and a history of success) 

2029 - Gatineau Olympiques (Could break through with solid development) 

2030 - Val-d'Or Foreurs (With a strong foundation, might come out on top) 

2031 - Saint John Sea Dogs (A team with a growing reputation and solid recruiting) 

2032 - Moncton Wildcats (Strong team with good player development) 

2033 - Chicoutimi Sagueneens (A dark horse with promising young talent) 

2034 - Drummondville Voltigeurs (A team with recent success and depth) 

2035 - Rimouski Oceanic (Possibly bouncing back with fresh young talent) 

2036 - Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (If they can reload, a potential contender) 

2037 - Sherbrooke Phoenix (Could continue a dominant run if they stay consistent) 

2038 - Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (Another championship run after rebuilding) 

2039 - Halifax Mooseheads (Could have another wave of success with top prospects) 

2040 - Quebec Remparts (If their system continues to develop well, they might strike again) 

2041 - Val-d'Or Foreurs (Could have a resurgence in the near future) 

2042 - Gatineau Olympiques (Another wave of young talent could push them to the top) 

2043 - Moncton Wildcats (A team with strong growth could come out ahead) 

2044 - Chicoutimi Sagueneens (Could have their moment with a new group of stars)

Got to love the "could have their moment with a new group of stars" comment for the 2043-44 Sagueneens.

ChatGPT seems to put a lot of focus into historical results, which is probably why clubs like Charlottetown, Baie-Comeau and Cape Breton aren't on the list. This list has also changed from when I asked a couple days ago.

"Based on recent trends and historical performance, I can offer a speculative (and fun) list of potential champions," stated ChatGPT. "Keep in mind that this is all hypothetical and based on current rosters, recent trends, and success in the league!

"Again, this is purely speculative! Teams will change a lot over the next two decades, and players develop at different rates, so this list is based on current trajectories, historical performances, and potential for future success. The QMJHL is always competitive, and surprises are guaranteed!"

I'll be checking this list annually over the next 20 years to see how this plays out.
