Thirty-two outstanding student-athletes from Quebec to receive $75,000 in scholarships and services<\/h1>\nThis marks the 19th edition of the Montreal Canadiens x Al\u00e9o Foundation Scholarship Program<\/h2>\n
Montreal, June 8, 2026 \u2013<\/b> The Montreal Canadiens and the Al\u00e9o Foundation are pleased to award $75,000 in scholarships and support services to 32 elite, college, and university hockey players who have distinguished themselves over the past year. The awards were presented during an official ceremony held at the Bell Centre on Monday.<\/p>\n
The 19th edition of the Montreal Canadiens Scholarship Program<\/b>, via the Al\u00e9o Foundation in partnership with Hockey Qu\u00e9bec, the Quebec M18 AAA Hockey Development League (LHM18AAAQ), and the Quebec Student Sports Network (RSEQ), is once again supporting the top male and female hockey players of the next generation this year.<\/p>\n
A group of 28 student-athletes aged 15 to 17 were recognized for their talent, athletic achievements, and exceptional academic records. One female hockey player was selected from each of the eight U18 AAA women\u2019s teams in the Ligue de hockey d\u2019excellence du Qu\u00e9bec (LHEQ), as well as two male hockey players from the U17 AAA men\u2019s division of the same league. In addition, one male hockey player was chosen from each of the 15 men\u2019s teams in the U18 AAA Hockey Development League. Finally, three scholarship recipients playing in the RSEQ rounded out the group.<\/p>\n
In addition to this first group, two RSEQ college recruitment scholarships were awarded, as well as two Guy-Lafleur Excellence Scholarships, presented by his son Martin Lafleur. These awards are given to college- or university-level hockey student-athletes who have distinguished themselves on the ice, in their studies, and in their communities.<\/p>\n
These two latest recipients are also automatically admitted to the Al\u00e9o Foundation\u2019s 2026\u20132027 Leadership Program. In addition to the grants awarded, leadership fellows will receive annual mentoring and training from a leadership professional as part of a partnership with the McCall MacBain Foundation.<\/p>\n
It should be noted that all Al\u00e9o Foundation scholarship recipients also have access, starting with their first scholarship, to personalized support services for life, both during and after their academic and athletic careers.<\/p>\n
Many former recipients of the Montreal Canadiens scholarship program have distinguished themselves since the program\u2019s inception. Four-time Olympic medallist, captain of the Montreal Victoire, and Walter Cup winner Marie-Philip Poulin<\/b>, as well as three members of the current Montreal Canadiens roster – Mike Matheson<\/b>, Joseph Veleno<\/b>, and Zachary Bolduc <\/b>– have distinguished themselves this spring.<\/p>\n
In their own words:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cFor nearly two decades, our partnership with the Al\u00e9o Foundation has enabled us to celebrate and honor young athletes who embody the values of excellence, perseverance and leadership that are at the heart of the Montreal Canadiens\u2019 identity. We are extremely proud to work alongside Al\u00e9o to support and encourage these student-athletes who distinguish themselves not only on the ice, but also in their academic pursuits and within their communities. By investing in their development today, we are helping build the next generation of leaders who we are confident will make a positive impact far beyond the world of sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw it this spring: the Montreal Canadiens are a powerful unifying force, bringing together millions of people from all walks of life. This social, athletic, and human strength forms a strong identity for Quebecers and serves as a source of inspiration for the entire population. The Montreal Canadiens are hockey, but they are also so much more than just hockey! Knowing we are on the same team as the Canadiens is a major driver in achieving our mission. Working together to support the athletic and academic successes of the next generation of youth and celebrating their efforts is a great privilege for us. Thank you for your continued trust over nearly two decades now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/b>The Al\u00e9o Foundation\u2019s mission is to maximize the full potential of the greatest number of excellent student-athletes from all walks of life, in order to generate a significant and lasting impact. Founded in 1985, the organization has awarded over $$25 million in scholarships to more than 5,000 student-athletes across Quebec. In addition to these bursaries, the Foundation also provides lifelong services to all recipients during and after their athletic and academic careers. To support these services, the Al\u00e9o Research Chair is now a vector of scientific results available to the entire sports community.<\/p>\n The Generations of Impact<\/b> The fundraising campaign aims to raise six million dollars over three years to bring us closer to our grand vision: that excellent student-athletes enrich society through their current and future leadership, both through their exceptional contributions and the inspiring examples they embody.<\/p>\n To support<\/b> Generations of Impact<\/a><\/p>\nFor more information: fondationaleo.ca<\/a>
