QMJHL

The lawsuit claims QMJHL players were underpaid and denied employment benefits, seeking compensation and systemic changes.

This class action involves former players of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League alleging they were not paid minimum wage, overtime, and employment benefits as required by provincial laws. A proposed $30 million settlement is pending court approval, but some plaintiffs oppose it, seeking a trial instead. The case covers players from Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia between 2011 and 2018.

• Players who were members of QMJHL teams in QC, NB, PE, and NS from 2011 to 2018.
• Includes both affiliate and regular players during the class period.
• Players who have not signed NHL contracts may be eligible to claim.
