The top players from the U13-AAA division will be selected to participate in the All-Star Game held Sunday at the Celebration. In collaboration with Hockey Quebec, we are creating a Quebec Etoiles Development Camp where the athletes selected for the All-Star Game will have the opportunity to attend seminars, on-ice and off-ice sessions to further their personal development. Save the Dates: The Camp will be held on May 29-30, 2027. This event provides crucial visibility for U13 players seeking potential future invitations to Team Quebec’s programs. To be eligible, players must compete in the U13-AAA division at the Celebration and play in Québec this season in the U13-AAA LHEQ division or elite mixed teams.

our Mission
Founded in 2014, the Caroline Ouellette Girls Hockey Celebration is a not-for-profit organization.
Our mission is to inspire young girls ages 4 to 15 to play hockey while providing them with the opportunity to meet successful role models both in hockey and academics. We connect Olympic athletes and National team players with the next generation of young players with big dreams.
We accomplish our mission by creating a supportive environment for the development and growth of players, officials, and coaches, starting at the initiation level in the sport of hockey.
Eligibility
We accept team registrations as well as individual player registration.
With our individual player registrations, we will place players in the appropriate division based on their current level. We will form teams and assign coaches to each team. Please make sure to carefully read the details pertaining to each division. Players must be registered with Hockey Canada HCR to take part in the Celebration. Please note that the Celebration can register a participant for this event including for example, a ringette player or a player that is not registered in hockey this season.
