QMJHL

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) is a Canadian organization that oversees competitive ice hockey teams composed of players aged 16 to 20. It operates primarily in Quebec, as well as parts of Atlantic Canada and Eastern Quebec. The league serves as a development platform for young athletes aiming to advance to professional hockey, including the National Hockey League (NHL). Teams compete in a structured season with playoffs to determine a league champion, and many players use their experience in the QMJHL to gain exposure and improve their skills for future careers in hockey.
