The whole purpose of the League and its teams is to participate in the development of young players aged from sixteen to twenty, and to make them progress towards the highest levels of professional hockey.

But the formal commitment of the League and its teams, towards players in this age category, towards their parents and the public in general, extends far beyond the statement of principle described in the previous paragraph: we want to make sure that the player benefits from an optimum development and protect his integrity related to ability and physical and mental condition, and continue top-quality academic education that will allow the player to go on studying normally beyond his hockey years in the QMJHL.

The optimum development of the player is guided by the commitment of our elite professionals in the fields of coaching, training, physical conditioning, diet, sports therapy and educational supervision. This allows the players to benefit from a full, intensive and structured training program, a significant high level of competition and to maintain general education.
