Men’s hockey – George Lovatsis
The men’s hockey team started the season with two straight wins, but have now lost six straight games. The two wins were against McGill and Carleton. Lovatsis finished the month with six points in as many games. Against McGill, the Stingers forward scored two goals, one shorthanded, and added an assist. He was named first star of the game. Lovatsis was only held off the score sheet in the final two games of the month.
Women’s hockey – Veronique Laramee-Paquette
It hasn’t been an easy start to the season for the women’s hockey team gaining just one win in their first five games. Eight of the players on the team are rookies. One player who has stood out was sophomore forward Veronique Laramee-Paquette. She had a five game point streak in October, leading the team with three goals while adding three assists to give her six points in just five games.

Bryan’s performance during the month of October has earned him a spot on our list again. He scored three goals in four appearances throughout the month.

During the year, he was used as the lone striker in coach Lloyd Barker’s formation.

After a great month of September, Duff’s form continued throughout October. She ended the regular season with 12 goals, the second best of the league. Duff was the RSEQ and CIS athlete of the week from Oct. 21 to 27. According to coach Jorge Sanchez, who picked up RSEQ Coach of the Year honours, this was the first time a soccer player from Concordia got this achievement. Duff was also named to RSEQ’s first all-star team.
