Gatineau Olympiques

Since 1973, the Gatineau Olympiques have played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), whose mission is to develop hockey by supporting its elite male players between the ages of 16 and 21, both academically and athletically within a safe and enriching environment to prepare them for their adult life. With its storied history, including a Memorial Cup win in 2008, the Olympiques have cultivated notable National Hockey League (NHL) players such as José Théodore, Luc Robitaille, Claude Giroux, Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Paul Byron.

The Rockets have represented Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, since 1995. The team competes in the Western Hockey League (WHL), which enables top young prospects in Western Canada and the U.S. the opportunity to reach their full potential both on and off the ice. The league provides an ideal environment for players to develop hockey skills while not compromising their academic goals. The Rockets have 17 banners hanging in their home arena, Prospera Place, including a Memorial Cup win in 2004 and four WHL championships.
