QMJHL Student-Athletes of the Month | February 2025
Each month, the QMJHL honors its outstanding student-athletes, following a consultation conducted by Scholastic Program Director, Valérie Monette, with the League’s academic advisors.
“These student-athletes caught our attention as much for both their brilliance on the ice and at school, says Monette. At the QMJHL, the League, management and players all understand the importance of school and do everything in their power to combine studies and hockey as best they can. Yes, we want to form future professional hockey players, but good citizens above all.”
These 18 deserving recipients were carefully selected by the teams’ academic advisors, who play a key role in supporting student-athletes on their educational journey. They are first-hand witnesses to the considerable sacrifices made by these players in their quest for academic success.
