QMJHL Scholastic Players of the Year
We’re proud to say that our players graduate from high school at a rate higher than the Canadian national average. Tremendous
e fforts are deployed by the League, its teams and its players to make this happen.
It is essential that a major junior hockey player progress through his s tudies. All QMJHL players are expected to attend school and
to succeed. Although combining school and hockey is not an easy undertaking, it is certainly feasible if the player is determined
and properly supervised. Several resources are available to student-athletes who wish to minimize the disadvantages of a busy hockey
schedule and who are eager to earn their degree. Educational advisors and tutors accompany the team on the road and are at their
disposal to motivate, supervise or even call them back to order whenever necessary.
