About the Pat Quinn Classic

Honouring a Legend

Burnaby has hosted an International U15 tournament since 1962 making this one of the longest running tournaments in the world.

In 2015, the tournament was reimagined to honour the legendary Pat Quinn and the Pat Quinn Classic was created. Delivered and supported by hockey and community partnerships, the tournament carries forward the legacy of Pat Quinn and his passion for developing great athletes and leaders. The PQC has established itself as one of the preeminent tournaments in North America.

Supporting and celebrating academic excellence is central to the PQC. To date the tournament has raised over $121,000 for the Pat Quinn Scholarship Fund that supports high performance athletes pursuing postgraduate studies. The fund is managed by Hockey Canada Foundation and more details can be found here. The Vancouver Canucks Alumni Association have been a long time tournament partner and provide five $1,000 scholarships to tournament players annually.
