2023 Hooked on School Days: League announces the Gervais-Munger Award winners
The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League announced the 2022-2023 Gervais-Munger Award winners as part of the Hooked on School Days initiative.
This 2022-2023 season marks the seventh year of the partnership between the QMJHL and Hooked on School Days. The initiative’s motto, “Our actions, a + in their success!” demonstrates how several individuals can and will play a significant role in a student’s life.
Over the course of the week, the League will highlight some of the efforts made by its players, who brilliantly balance their studies with hockey, by sharing video content based on different academic themes. The Commissioner’s Office will also feature different academic advisors, who work hard to help guide and support their student-athletes.
The Gervais-Munger Awards for Academic Perseverance are presented annually to a player from each of the 18 QMJHL franchises who has distinguished himself through his efforts and academic perseverance. This award includes a $500 scholarship from the QMJHL Foundation and a commemorative plaque.
