Montr\u00e9al Canadiens and the Al\u00e9o Foundation award $75,000 in scholarships and services<\/h1>\nThirty-two outstanding Quebec student-athletes supported in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence<\/h3>\n
Montr\u00e9al, June 9, 2025 \u2013<\/b> The Montreal Canadiens and the Al\u00e9o Foundation are pleased to announce the awarding of $75,000 in scholarships and support services to 32 elite hockey players, who have distinguished themselves over the past year. The awards were presented at an official ceremony held at the Bell Centre.<\/p>\n
The 18th edition of the Montreal Canadiens Scholarship Program via the Al\u00e9o Foundation, in partnership with Hockey Qu\u00e9bec, the Ligue de d\u00e9veloppement du hockey U18 AAA du Qu\u00e9bec (LHM18AAAQ) and the R\u00e9seau du sport \u00e9tudiant du Qu\u00e9bec (RSEQ), is once again supporting the best hockey players of the next generation.<\/p>\n
A total of twenty-eight student-athletes aged 15 to 17 were honored for their talent, athletic achievements and outstanding academic careers. One hockey player was selected for each of the eight U18 AAA women’s teams in the Ligue de hockey d’excellence du Qu\u00e9bec (LHEQ), as were two players from the U17 AAA men’s section of the same structure. In addition, one player was selected for each of the 15 men’s teams in the Ligue de d\u00e9veloppement du hockey U18 AAA. Three RSEQ scholarship recipients rounded out the group.<\/p>\n
All Al\u00e9o Foundation scholars also have access to personalized, lifelong support services during and after their academic and athletic careers<\/p>\n
Guy Lafleur Award of Excellence<\/b><\/p>\n
New for 2025, the Guy Lafleur Awards of Excellence were added to the regular program with the Al\u00e9o Foundation. These awards are presented to college and university hockey student-athletes who have distinguished themselves on the ice, in their studies and in their community. Recipients received their awards directly from the hands of Martin Lafleur, son of hockey legend Guy Lafleur.<\/p>\n
Two $3,000 RSEQ college recruitment scholarships were awarded, as well as two $4,000 university hockey leadership scholarships. Of the four recipients, two are reserved for female athletes and two for their male counterparts.<\/p>\n
In addition to the financial awards and lifetime services, Leadership scholars receive annual coaching and training through a partnership with the McCall MacBain Foundation.<\/p>\n
3-year renewal for $225,000<\/b><\/p>\n
Continuing its commitment to the Al\u00e9o Foundation, the Montr\u00e9al Canadiens Hockey Club has also announced the renewal of its agreement for the next three years. A total of $225,000 will be invested in young student-athletes in hockey through 2027.<\/p>\n
In their words :<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cThe Montreal Canadiens organization is committed to encouraging the next generation of hockey players. Every day, these young hockey players demonstrate an impressive commitment to their sport and their studies, aiming for the highest levels of excellence. We are proud to highlight their achievements and the perseverance it takes to get there. This program, built in collaboration with the Al\u00e9o Foundation, allows us to benefit from the foundation’s expertise to optimize every dollar invested, and is invaluable to us. By inviting the recipients to the Bell Centre for this moment of recognition, under the same roof as many of their role models, we hope to nurture and inspire their future aspirations, hopes and dreams!\u201d<\/p>\n
