Three Eagles In Line For League Awards
The Screaming Eagles will be well-represented at next week's QMJHL Golden Pucks Award Ceremony in Montreal.
Players Robert Slaney and Olivier Roy along with General Manager and Head Coach Pascal Vincent are finalists for three league awards.
Slaney is a finalist for the Marcel Robert Trophy given to the Top Scholastic player in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
It marks the fourth straight season that a member of the Screaming Eagles organization has been named a finalist. Guillaume Demers won the award in 2005.
Roy, who was named the Defensive Rookie of the Year last week, is now in the running for the RDS Cup as the QMJHL’s Rookie of the Year.
Former Screaming Eagles’ goaltender Ondrej Pavelec won both awards in 2006.
Vincent is one of the finalists for the Ron Lapointe Trophy as Caoch of the Year.
Now in his ninth season as the Screaming Eagles bench boss, the Laval native led the club to an unexpected fourth place finish in the Eastern Division.
He also picked up career win number 300 this past season putting him in with some elite company among QMJHL coaches.
The Golden Puck Awards Ceremony will be held at the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Montreal on Wednesday April 2.
