MONTREAL - Five members of the No.1-ranked McGill Martlets have
earned all-conference honours and two others are among the four
major award winners in voting by the five head coaches of the
Quebec University Hockey League.
Heading the list of first-team all-stars from McGill is
goaltender Charline Labonte of Boisbriand, Que.,
defencemen Cathy Chartrand of Lac Nominingue,
Que., and Gillian Ferrari of Thornhill, Ont., plus
forward Ann-Sophie Bettez of Sept-Iles, Que.
Making the second dream team was McGill forward Caroline
Hill of Dorval, Que., who played on a CIS all-star team at
the World University FISU Games in Turkey last month.
The Martlets also had two of the four major award winners,
including Katia Clément-Heydra, a forward
from Saint Bruno de Montarville, Que., who earned rookie-of
the-year honours and Peter Smith of Lachine, Que.,
who was named coach of the year for the sixth time in 11
seasons.
The league's player-of-the-year honours went to second-team goalie
Audrey Doyon-Lessard of Concordia, who edged out
Chartrand in a quirky vote. It marks the first time in QUHL history
that the conference MVP was not a first-team all-star. Chartrand
won the QUHL scoring title and was the top-scoring rearguard in the
nation with 29 points, including eight goals, in 20 games.
Carleton defenceman Erica Skinner won the
conference nomination for the CIS Marian Hilliard award, presented
to the player who best combines hockey with academics and community
service.
Clément-Heydra and teammate Adrienne Crampton of Toronto, also
earned a berth on the conference all-rookie team.
