2011 HALL OF FAME PROFILE: Marc Mounicot
Soccer coach Marc Mounicot has been selected in the athlete category and is among a half-dozen 2011 new additions to the McGill Sports Hall of Fame.
He was born Oct. 10, 1963 in Arin Luzien, France and attended McGill from 1995 to 1998, earning a master's degree in physical education. He played three years for the men's soccer team, earning all-conference honours each season and twice merited all-Canadian status.
A prolific forward, Mounicot scored 26 goals in 54 career games with the Redmen and won the Bill Searles trophy as team MVP in his final campaign, when he led the Quebec league in scoring, was voted conference player of the year and co-captained McGill to a national title.
At the 1997 CIAU championship tournament in Halifax, Mounicot put McGill in position to win the gold medal match 1-0 over heavily-favoured UBC by scoring a crucial tying goal in what proved to be a 5-4 decision on penalty kicks. McGill won the championship on its next shot, a goal by Peter Bryant.
Mounicot was selected Game MVP in the CIAU tourney opener against York, was named to championship all-tournament team and went on to capture the Forbes trophy as McGill's male athlete of the year in 1997-98.
After graduating, he went on to serve as head coach of the McGill Martlets, where he became the all-time winningest coach in McGill women's soccer history and earned CIS coach-of-the-year honours in 2009.
The induction luncheon, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 13 2011, kicks off the University's Homecoming Week celebrations. Tickets for the event are $65 and can be reserved by contacting the McGill Alumni Association at 514-398-8288.
