MONTREAL – For the ninth consecutive year, the Montreal Canadiens acknowledged the on-ice achievement and academic distinction of 28 young hockey players as part of the bursary program of the Foundation for Athletic Excellence (QFAE). Created in 2008 by the Montreal Canadiens, this initiative aims to provide the most promising young student-athletes in men and women’s hockey with financial support. Last year, the Canadiens extended their partnership with the Foundation with a $250,000 investment over a five-year period, until 2020.
Following the ceremonies earlier today, the Montreal Canadiens presented twenty-eight $1,500 scholarships to the most deserving young hockey players between 15 and 18 years of age.
