QMJHL Names Scholastic Players of the Month

December 14, 2010 - Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) News Release

BOUCHERVILLE, Tuesday, December 14th, 2010 - After compiling the latest school results, team academic consultants from around the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League today released the names of the Scholastic Players of the Month for November.

This initiative's goal, which was developed by the QMJHL and its member clubs, is to recognize student athletes' performances both on the ice and at school. The players are selected for their school results, their implication, the school-hockey conciliation, their team spirit and their on-ice performances.

It's important to note that more than 94,5% of the QMJHL players were taking school classes at the 2010 Fall session.
