It all started as a simple idea to create something different… mostly just so I could play in a fun event as a goalie. 9 years later, MYM has become a staple for hockey players in Quebec — and beyond!
Over the years, we’ve welcomed players from all over the world: Denmark, the U.S., Western Canada, and more. What started as an idea between me and my very first business partner, Max St-Michel, became a full-blown project. We imagined it, built it, refined it — and brought it to life together.
That first year, we had to convince our friends to join… we ended up with 28 teams!
The first two editions were held at the JC Perreault Complex in Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan. But we quickly realized the scale this tournament could take. So we moved to the Centre d’Excellence Sports Rousseau, with its four ice.
This year, for our 9th edition? Over 122 teams registered.
Make Your Move — or MYM — has come a long way. Thanks to my second partner, Pierre Gendron, the event really took off. With support from Sports Rousseau and Trio Hockey, we reached media outlets across Quebec, attracted players of all levels — including NHL talent — and built strong ties with our partners and hockey families.
This year marked a major shift: after playing in the tournament 6 times (and winning it 😏), and with Pierre stepping away, Zach Fucale and our company Living Sisu officially acquired MYM to help it grow and reach new heights. After creating the LSHL, our summer 3x3 pro league in Montreal, it only made sense to bring MYM into our ecosystem.
On a personal note, I’m incredibly proud to see Paramount Hockey goalies — from my other business — join MYM every year, whether as participants or as part of the staff. Watching them grow in that environment means the world to me.
The 2025 edition broke every record:
🔥 A historic number of teams
🎯 The launch of the Showdown, featuring Ivan Demidov and Swaggy P
🤝 And amazing partners who helped make this the best edition yet
Huge thanks to our incredible team (front desk, refs, staff, family, Showdown crew), our partners like Sports Rousseau and Warrior Hockey, and all the other brands who helped make the experience even better: Construction Groupe Signature, Bladetech Hockey Cwench Hydration, Howies, CHELWear, Be Healthy Love Berry…
But most of all, thank you to all the hockey families who’ve trusted us for the past 9 years.
See you for year 10 — and we’re going BIG for that one.
