The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (French: "Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec", abbreviated "QMJHL" in English, "LHJMQ" in French) is one of the three major junior ice hockey leagues which constitute the Canadian Hockey League.
 The league is often simply referred to as "The Q".
 The league comprises teams across the provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
 Since the departure of the Lewiston Maineiacs from Lewiston, Maine, the QMJHL is the only one of the three member leagues of the CHL that does not currently have teams located in the United States (the OHL has teams in Michigan and Pennsylvania while the WHL has teams in Washington and Oregon).
 The current Commissioner of the QMJHL is Gilles Courteau.
The Bangladesh Hockey Federation (BHF) was founded in 1972.
 The federation acquired full membership of the International Hockey Federation and of the Asian Hockey Federation in 1975.
 In 1987, a hockey stadium was built in Dhaka, which is now known as the Maulana Bhasani Hockey Stadium.
 Since then it has been the home of hockey and the office of BHF in Bangladesh where all levels of hockey are being played and controlled.
 The Federation regularly arranges hockey leagues, tournaments and the National Youth and Senior Championships.
 At the home level, hockey matches including Premier Division Hockey League, First Division Hockey League, Second Division Hockey League, National Hockey League, National Youth Hockey League, Independence Day Hockey Tournament, National Hockey Championship, National Youth Hockey Championship, Victory Day Hockey Tournament, School Tournaments and hosted various international tournaments with distinction.
The French Connection was the nickname of a forward line that played for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League from 1972 until 1979.
 The line consisted of Hall of Famer Gilbert Perreault at centre and All-Stars Rick Martin and Rene Robert at left wing and right wing, respectively.
 All three players were French-Canadians from Quebec: Perreault from Victoriaville; Robert from Trois-Rivières; and Martin from Verdun, Quebec.
 The name referred both to the origins of the players and to the 1971 movie "The French Connection", based upon the book of the same name.
The voyageurs (] , "travelers") were French Canadians who engaged in the transporting of furs by canoe during the fur trade years.
 The emblematic meaning of the term applies to places (New France, including the "Pays d'en Haut" and the "Pays des Illinois") and times (primarily in the 18th and early 19th centuries) where transportation of materials was mainly over long distances.
 This major and challenging task of the fur trading business was done by canoe and largely by French Canadians.
 The term in its fur trade context also applied, at a lesser extent, to other fur trading activities.
 Being a voyageur also included being a part of a licensed, organized effort, one of the distinctions that set them apart from the "coureurs des bois".
 Additionally, they were set apart from "engagés ", who were much smaller merchants and general laborers.
 Mostly immigrants, "engagés " were men who were obliged to go anywhere and do anything their masters told them as long as their indentureship was still in place.
 Until their contract expired, "engagés " were at the full servitude of their master, which was most often a voyageur.
 Less than fifty percent of "engagés " whose contracts ended chose to remain in New France (either because the others returned to France or because they died while working and never had a chance to leave).
Île d'Orléans (] ; English: Island of Orleans) is located in the Saint Lawrence River about 5 km east of downtown Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
 The island was one of the first parts of the province to be colonized by the French, and a large percentage of French Canadians can trace ancestry to early residents of the island.
 The island has been described as the "microcosm of traditional Quebec and as the birthplace of francophones in North America."
Jean-Yves Bigras (May 19, 1919 in Ottawa, Ontario – August 17, 1966 in Montreal, Quebec) was a Canadian film director and film editor, considered a pioneer in Quebec cinema.
 Bigras studied first at the University of Ottawa and then at Queen's University.
 From 1939 to 1942 he served in World War II as part of the RCAF.
 When he returned to Canada he became one of the first French Canadians to be hired by the NFB and worked there as an editor until 1948.
 He was then hired to work in Renaissance Éducationnel, the children's education film section of Renaissance Films Distribution.
 It was here that he got to work on his first feature film "Le gros Bill" (1949) co-directing with René Delacroix.
 Bigras moved on to direct three feature films himself, including "La petite Aurore l’enfant martyre" (1951), a big hit with audiences and a staple of Quebec Cinema.
 In 1953 he began working for Radio-Canada where he became one of its principal directors until his death in 1966.
Québécois (pronounced ] ; feminine: Québécoise (pronounced ] ), Quebecois (fem.: Quebecoise ), or Québecois (fem.: Québecoise ) is a word used primarily to refer to a French-speaking native or inhabitant of the Canadian province of Quebec.
 It can refer to French spoken in Quebec.

The Canadian Hockey League (CHL; French: "Ligue canadienne de hockey ‒ LCH" ) is an umbrella organization that represents the three Canadian-based major junior ice hockey leagues for players 16 to 20 years of age.
 The CHL was founded in 1975 as the Canadian Major Junior Hockey League, and is composed of its three member leagues, the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
 For the 2016-17 season, its three leagues and 60 teams represent nine Canadian provinces (52 teams) as well as four American states (8 teams).
The French Connection is a 1971 American crime thriller film directed by William Friedkin and produced by Philip D'Antoni.
 It stars Gene Hackman, Fernando Rey, and Roy Scheider.
 The film was adapted and fictionalized by Ernest Tidyman from the 1969 non-fiction book by Robin Moore.
 It tells the story of New York Police Department detectives Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle and Buddy "Cloudy" Russo, whose real-life counterparts were Narcotics Detectives Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso.
 Don Ellis scored the film.
Prior to the first season of the National Hockey League (NHL), which commenced on December 19, 1917, there had been many seasons of ice hockey played by various amateur and professional leagues, often held contemporaneously, going back to the 1880s, to which the NHL can trace its roots.
 Below is a list of pre-NHL seasons by ice hockey leagues that are precursors of the National Hockey League.
