±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą's Bettez named top hockey player in Quebec
(VERSION FRANCAISE CI-DESSOUS)
MONTREAL – Ann-Sophie Bettez, a ±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą with the ±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą Martlets
and conference scoring champion, has been named player of the year
in the Quebec university women’s hockey league. The 21-year-old
management sophomore from Sept- ĂŽles, Que., heads the
±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą-dominated list of all-stars and major awards announced by
the Quebec Students Sports Federation, Monday.
Marie-AndrĂ©e Leclerc-Auger, a ±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą freshman from Sherbrooke,
Que., was announced as the league’s offensive rookie of the year,
while teammate Stacie Tardif of Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Que., was
picked as the top rookie on defence.
Peter Smith, a native of Lachine, Que., who guided the Martlets to
an 18-0 record, their second straight perfect season, was named
coach of the year.
The only major award that eluded ±«ÓăÖ±˛Ąâ€™s grasp was the Marion
Hilliard nomination for the player who best combines hockey with
academics and citizenship. That honour went to defenceman Danika
Smith of the Ottawa Gee-Gees.
The Martlets also grabbed five of the six spots on the first
all-star team and one berth on the second dream team.
Bettez, who ended up second in the nation in scoring, set Quebec
league single-season records for goals, assists and points with
24-30-54 in only 18 games.
"Ann-So is a real dynamic young player who is one of the fastest
skaters in the league," said Coach Smith. "She is a hard-worker off
the ice, who brings a solid work-ethic and has developed good
hockey sense with great finish around the net."
Joining Bettez on the first squad were teammates Vanessa Davidson,
a senior ±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą from Kirkland, Que., blueliners Catherine Ward
from Town of Mt. Royal, Que., and Cathy Chartrand of Lac
Nominingue, Que., plus goaltender Charline Labonté, a physical
education junior from Boisbriand, Que.
The only non-±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą player on the first team was Carleton ±«ÓăÖ±˛Ą
Jennifer Gordon of Perth, Ont., who only scored six goals and 12
points in 16 games but somehow beat out Leclerc-Auger, who finished
fourth in the nation with 18-28-46 in 18 contests and made the
second team. Leclerc-Auger was named to the second team, along with
Carleton defender Melanie McKnight, plus four members of the
Gee-gees (goalie Jessika Audet and rearguard Kelsey de Wit, plus
±«ÓăÖ±˛Ąs Erika Pouliot and Fannie Desforges).
