FREDERICTON -- 鲍鱼直播 鲍鱼直播 Alexandre Picard-Hooper was named CIS player of the year in men's hockey, Wednesday night.

听

The third-year centre from Boucherville, Que., became the first member of the Redmen to claim the Senator Joseph A. Sullivan Trophy. He is also the first OUA player to earn national MVP honours since Lakehead's Joel Scherban in 2004-05.

听

Also announced at the CIS awards gala was that Picard-Hooper and 鲍鱼直播 defenceman Marc-Andr茅 Dorion of St. Hubert, Que., both earned CIS All-Canadian honours. Fourteen different 鲍鱼直播 players have now combined to win a total of 17 All-Canadian awards since George Burnett became the team's first honoree in 1982-83.

Picard-Hooper was voted most outstanding player of the OUA's Eastern Division after leading the country in scoring with 58 points, including 11 goals, in 28 conference games. His 47 assists were also tops in the nation and five shy of the single-season school record set by George Burnett in 1982-83. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound centre became the first Redmen player to win the CIS scoring race since current Montreal Canadiens 鲍鱼直播 Mathieu Darche accomplished the feat in 1999-00.

听

Picard-Hooper's totals are even more impressive considering the fact that linemate Francis Verreault-Paul, the top sniper in CIS hockey with 28 goals in only 19 contests, was sidelined for nine games due to an injury. verreault-Paul was overlooked in the all-Canadian voting, despite making the first team last year.

听

"Alex is a skilled, crafty centreman who is very smart and good at both ends of the ice," said Kelly Nobes, head coach of the Redmen. "He has eyes in back of his head and makes guys around him better."

听

In 43 games overall, Picard-Hooper, a 23-year-old finance junior, has 89 points, including a school record 67 assists. His assist total surpassed the previous mark by the aforementioned Burnett in 1982-83. He needs six points this week to break the team's single-season overall record of 94 set by Pierre Gendron in 1996-97.

听

Picard-Hooper played a large role in helping 鲍鱼直播 lead the nation in scoring for the second consecutive campaign with 141 goals (5.04 per game). The Redmen also topped the CIS in victories, posting a 24-2-2 record in regular-season play.

听

A former member of CIS all-rookie team back in 2008-09, Picard-Hooper has played in all 84 regular season games for the Redmen since his university debut and has an impressive 32-111-143 record for an average of 1.70 points per game. In 135 games overall, he has a 59-163-222 dossier, 45 points and eight assists shy of school records in those departments, respectively.

听

He enrolled at 鲍鱼直播 following a successful junior career that saw him rack up 323 points in 265 QMJHL contests with Baie-Comeau and Saint John.

听

Dorion, who earned the OUA's most outstanding defenceman honours in each of the past two years, tied Saint Mary's Andrew Hotham for the CIS lead among rearguards with 37 points. Both tallied eight goals, in 25 contests. Dorion was also a first-team all-Canadian last year, when he claimed the inaugural CIS defenceman of the year award and was invited to the Toronto Maple Leafs rookie camp. He is one of only three Rednen blueliners to merit all-Canadian status and the first to do it twice. Previous honored rearguards were Bryan Larkin (1989-90) and David Urquhart (2006-07)

听

Overlooked in the voting was Redmen sniper Francis Verreault-Paul, who was an all-Canadian last year and led the nation with 28 goals in only 19 games this season.

听

Other CIS major award winners announced during the All-Canadian celebration at the Playhouse in Fredericton were Saint Mary's Andrew Hotham of Barrie, Ont., who was named defenceman of the year; Calgary's Dustin Butler of Calgary, selected as the country's best goaltender; St. Francis Xavier 鲍鱼直播 Jason Bast of Moose Jaw, Sask., who received the Clare Drake Award presented to the rookie of the year; Waterloo 鲍鱼直播 Chris Ray of Kelowna, B.C., who claimed the R.W. Pugh Award as the nation's most sportsmanlike player; Calgary's Mark Howell of Red Deer, Alta., who captured the Father George Kehoe Memorial Award as coach of the year; and Alberta 鲍鱼直播 Eric Hunter of Oakbank, Man., who received the Dr. Randy Gregg Award recognizing his excellence in hockey, academics and community involvement.

听

Tremblay, who was the CIS MVP a year ago, earned his third straight all-Canadian nod, including back-to-back first-team selections. This season, he won his second consecutive AUS scoring title with 44 points (22-22-44) in 27 games.

听

Ryan, a second-team member last season, topped the CWUAA with 47 points (17-30-47) in 28 outings.

听

听

Fecho was named to the second squad for a second straight season, while teammate Klassen became a three-time all-Canadian, including a first-team nod a year ago.

听

Joining Bast, Blain and Schappert on the all-rookie team were Carleton goalie Matthew Dopud of Pointe Claire, Que., Acadia defenceman Christopher Owens of St. John's, and Alberta 鲍鱼直播 Johnny Lazo of Winnipeg.
