Inside the Q; bloggers to take the League’s website by storm

It is with great pride that the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) announces the hiring of well-decorated bloggers who will be contributing to the new Inside the Q news section over the course of the 2017-18 season.

To do so, the QMJHL approached fine connoisseurs of the League in order for them to provide content and original stories on various topics. Two of the previously mentioned bloggers will be mandated to write English blogs, two others will be providing French-only coverage, while a final one will be writing in both languages.

Here is a brief presentation of the bloggers you’ll soon be able to read on our website;
