MONTREAL – It’s hard to believe the Canadiens Hockey School is wrapping up its 10th year on Friday.
Since ushering in its inaugural class in July 2007 in Pierrefonds, QC, thousands of youngsters have been privileged to learn the fundamentals of the game and hone their skills with the help of some of the top local instructors in the business – and meet many of their hockey idols along the way, too.
What started out as a week-long camp with 100 participants all those years ago, has steadily grown into a three-week program that now welcomes approximately 700 boys and girls – aged 7 to 14 – from all around the world to the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard every summer.
