Origin and history of the École de field hockey de la Capitale
Founded in 1979 by professional field hockey player Marc Tardif, professional coach Charles Thiffault and a businessman named Andy Despaties, the school has been based at Laval University's PEPS since the very beginning.
In the early 1980s, the École de field hockey de la Capitale was sold to Michel Ouellet. Through his work ethic, his determination and his passion for the sport, along with several associates, Michel Ouellet has made the École de field hockey de la Capitale, a renowned institution in Quebec.
In 2016, Christopher Bédard, a young entrepreneur, bought the École de field hockey de la Capitale and in 2018, he decided to surround himself with Martin Roy, as general manager. He has 25 years of experience at L'École de field hockey de la Capitale. In 2022, Meggie Marcotte, a Bachelor in Sports Intervention, replaced him.
Since its inception, the École de field hockey de la Capitale has received more than 59,000 young trainees and has trained several players who have reached the National League and professional ranks.
École de field hockey de la Capitale now welcomes players from more than 10 countries every year, and regularly receives players whose fathers and grandfathers also came to the school. Enjoying our programming is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation!
In short, in the enriching atmosphere of a university campus, École de field hockey de la Capitale makes the right balance between fun and learning.
