Named after a Quebec speed skating legend and four-time Olympic medalist from the Quebec City area, the Centre d’entraînement Gaétan-Boucher (CEGB) offers a coaching structure that is compatible with the athlete's long-term development model, while respecting an academic and individual path.
The CEGB has more than 60 athletes during the winter season and about 125 during the summer season, all of whom are active at the provincial and national levels, including members of the Quebec Team up to the National Team.
For nearly 30 years, the Centre national d’entraînement de Québec has been coaching Quebec's best long track speed skaters to reach their full potential. Within the National Team and the Next Gen National Team, this group represents the top of the development pyramid.
Academy
Whether in long track, short track or in a hybrid program composed of both disciplines, the Academy offers a structure that allows athletes to develop in a healthy and balanced way under a dynamic and personalized supervision. Athletes from the rest of Canada and international athletes who meet the standards can join the Academy at the current rate.
