2009-10 QSSF major awards and all-stars announced
MONTREAL – The Quebec Student Sport Federation (QSSF) is
pleased to release its major award winners and all-star teams for
the 2009-2010 women’s university ice hockey season.
McGill Martlets standout blue liner Cathy Chartrand (Lac
Nominingue, Que.) has been selected as the most outstanding player
in the QSSF this season. The third year rearguard ended the
campaign ranked fourth in league scoring with 28 points, lighting
the lamp ten (10) times while setting up 18 other tallies for the
undefeated Marlets. Big number 8 follows in the footsteps of her
teammates Ann-Sophie Bettez and Vanessa Davidson who were named as
the player of the year in each of the past two seasons.
McGill interim head coach Amey Doyle was named the Coach of the
Year for guiding the two-time defending Canadian champions to a
20-0 record and fifth consecutive regular season league crown.
Doyle, who has been an assistant coach at McGill since 2002, is
guiding the team while Peter Smith is on a leave of absence to
serve as an assistant coach with the Canadian women’s Olympic
hockey team. The Martlets enter the playoffs having won 80
consecutive regular season and playoff games.
Kim Deschênes (St. Quentin, NB) of the Université de
Montréal Carabins has been named QSSF rookie of the year.
The 18-year old forward led all first-year scorers with 28-points
which placed her third amongst all players in the QSSF this season.
The New Brunswick native bulged the twine 14 times in 20 games,
including five game winners as the Carabins posted a 13-6-1 record
in their inaugural season.
Ottawa blue liner Christine Allen (Gatineau, Que.) has been
selected as the QSSF nominee for the 2010 Marion Hilliard Award,
presented annually to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS)
women’s hockey player who best combines academic and sport
excellence with community service. The fifth year captain of the
Gee-Gees finished the 2009-10 campaign as the third leader scorer
amongst defensive player in the QSSF, tallying two (2) goals and
eight (8) assists in 20 games. When she is not playing hockey or
working on her MA in Physiotherapy, Allen shares her expertise with
young players in the Ottawa and Gatineau girls minor hockey
systems.
