The Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) has always prioritized the well-being and health of children, and in that spirit, the League is proud to launch its QMJHL Summer Camps beginning in late June.
These are not specialized hockey camps, but rather multi-sport camps offered to kids from ages 7 to 14. All camps will be supervised by former QMJHL players, including camp co-organizers Kaylen Gauthier and Édouard Charron.
“From the outset, our objective was clear: to create an initiative inspired by QMJHL players that would give back to the community in a meaningful way,” said Kaylen Gauthier, a former player with the Sherbrooke Phoenix and Drummondville Voltigeurs, who is currently completing his master’s degree in finance at UQTR.
“These camps will allow us to share our experience, our values, and our passion, while making a real impact on kids. This initiative also gives us the opportunity to support the QMJHL Foundation, a cause that is especially close to our hearts as former players.”
“We are truly pleased and proud of this partnership with Kaylen and Édouard, two former players who greatly enjoyed their time in our league and who are now excelling at the university level,” said QMJHL Commissioner Mario Cecchini. “Kaylen, Édouard, and the other alumni who will serve as camp instructors will undoubtedly pass on their knowledge and experience to children and teenagers alike — all within a structured, constructive, and fun environment.”
A portion of the proceeds generated from camp registrations will be donated to the QMJHL Foundation. One of the Foundation’s primary missions is to support youth in need by providing them with new hockey equipment so they can practice their favorite sport.
