The Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament brings about 2,300 players, 100+ teams and 15+ countries to Quebec City over nearly two weeks. With games spread across multiple days, every hockey family faces the same question: where do you base yourselves?
Tournament weeks in Quebec City are busy, and hotel rooms get tight for a multi-night stay with a young player who needs rest between games. The smart move: base yourselves 15 minutes outside, in a whole house where the whole family actually sleeps. La Petite Ecole de l'Ile d'Orleans is exactly that — a calm, fully equipped house away from the crowd.
Why Ile d'Orleans is the smart base for the pee-wee tournament
- 15 minutes drive from Quebec City via the Quebec-Ile d'Orleans bridge (about 25 min from Old Quebec)
- Free parking at La Petite Ecole — leave the car, drive in for games, come back
- Quiet rural location — young players rest and sleep deeply between matches
- Whole house, sleeps up to 6 — room for the family or a small group splitting the stay
- Wood fireplace and river view — a warm February base after a cold day at the rink
- Fully equipped kitchen — cook team meals instead of eating out every night
A tournament day from La Petite Ecole
Morning — Wake up at the house, breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen. No rushing through a crowded hotel lobby. Pack the gear and head out.
Daytime — Drive 15 minutes across the bridge into Quebec City for the games. Free parking at the house means you only park once, downtown, when you arrive.
Evening — Drive back across the bridge. 15 minutes. Light the wood fireplace, a quiet meal, and the young player rests for tomorrow's match.
Off-days — Use a rest day to explore Ile d'Orleans (5 minutes from the house) or take the short drive to Quebec City sights — a calm change of pace during a long tournament week.
