Founded in 1960, the Québec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament is the world’s most prestigious junior hockey tournament. Held in February, it has welcomed teams from some 30 different countries over the years. Many locals attend this unifying event to try and spot players who could go on to play professionally. To date, more than 1,250 future National Hockey League players have played in the tournament, including Guy Lafleur, Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull, Mario Lemieux, Patrick Roy and Sylvain Côté.

Bonhomme Carnaval at the Québec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament
André Boucher
The legendary Bonhomme Carnaval gets things rolling at the Colisée during the ceremony for the 1977 Québec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament. Bonhomme’s presence illustrates the close ties between the Carnaval de Québec and the tournament. The chorus of the theme song “Vive Les Pee-wee Du Carnival” is another example.
