During this Vegas-style Pro-Am, golfers will rub shoulders with PGA of Québec pros and legends from the QMJHL's oldest franchise. Mavrik Bourque, Dave Morrissette, Stéphan Lebeau, Marc-André Bergeron, Michaël Bournival and Nicolas Désilets have already confirmed their presence at the event!

“Junior hockey teams now need to hold off-ice events to ensure their sustainability,” says Cataractes president Roger Lavergne. “We chose to relaunch the golf tournament thanks to this great collaboration with the PGA of Québec. Few people have the chance to play with a pro, and it's an incredible experience that we'll be able to offer to those who will be with us on September 2,” he enthused.

“The PGA of Québec is proud to be able to partner with the Cataractes de Shawinigan for the first edition of the tournament to benefit their study fund. It's important for us to get involved socially and offer organizations our services and expertise so that their customers can enjoy a VIP day. I'm convinced that this is the start of a long and prosperous collaboration between our two organizations in the Mauricie region,” explained Eric Couture, Executive Director of the PGA of Québec.
