"Although the QMJHL is known and recognized as a credible organization in the world of hockey, it wants to raise awareness of other components of its mission," said Gilles Courteau, the QMJHL's commissioner. "In the past season, all the League's teams contributed to supporting local organizations in their communities, and we wanted to set up a program to highlight these important contributions. Moreover, continuing education and academic success are a priority for our teams. The League ensures that students benefit from solid guidance and judicious counsel throughout their time in the League."
Many players from all the teams visit schools and meet with elementary and secondary school students to encourage them to stay in school. Some are also involved in organizations that work with children, while others support the local activities of various organizations.
