🌍 Hockey, more alive than ever… in Europe
When we think of hockey, we often think of Quebec, Canada, or the NHL. But Europe is increasingly establishing itself as a real magnet for professional hockey .

European arenas don't disappoint: chants, drums, televised matches, youth development... hockey is booming , and that attracts the attention of recruiters - as much as that of Quebec players looking for a springboard or a different career.
