The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) today announced the renewal of its partnership with Centre d’Excellence Sports Rousseau as well as with l’Académie de Hockey Joël Bouchard for the QMJHL Combines which will be held in Boisbriand from April 27 to 29.

"The event’s goal is to expose our top prospects to programs and workshops which will maximize their development," said QMJHL Executive Vice-President Marcel Patenaude. "By employing former players from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the National Hockey League and other professional hockey circuits, L’Académie de Hockey Joël Bouchard can offer elite tactical and technical developmental workshops."

L’Académie de Hockey Joël Bouchard has offered developmental opportunities for all levels of hockey players for the past seven years.

"For a second consecutive year, L’Académie de Hockey Joël Bouchard is proud to be associated with the QMJHL Combines. My team and I are very involved with the development of hockey players from all levels and it is an honour to share our expertise and service to ensure the success of this event. For us, it’s a natural association," added Joël Bouchard.
