DiDomenico, D’Orso and Stefanovich win QMJHL player of the month awards
2007-10-02
BOUCHERVILLE, Tuesday, October 2, 2007 – The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League today announced the winners of the offensive, defensive and rookie player of the month awards for September. The players were chosen by a committee mandated by the League.
Chris DiDomenico of the Saint John Sea Dogs earns the nod on offence. DiDomenico had quite a showing during the first two weeks of the regular season, tallying seven goals, including two game-winners, and five assists while maintaining an impressive +8 differential in six games. Moreover, two of his goals were shorthanded. The forward’s early offensive outburst has enabled him to share the QMJHL scoring lead with Titan winger Dany Massé. The Toronto Maple Leaf’s 2007 sixth round draft pick has helped the Sea Dogs take over fourth place in the Eastern division standings.
Dany Massé (7-5-12) of the Titan, Hugo Carpentier (7-3-10) of the Huskies and Matt Marquardt (6-3-9) of the Wildcats were also considered.
The defensive player of the month is Val-d’Or Foreurs goaltender Raffaele D’Orso. The Val-d’Or backstop registered three wins, including a shutout, in six starts while posting a 2.03 goals-against-average and .940 save percentage. D’Orso will be counted upon to lead his team back to the promise land this season following their 2006-07 President Cup run.
Bobby Nadeau (2-4-0; 363 MIN; 1.82 GAA; .928 SAV %) of the Saguenéens, Marco Cousineau (4-3-0; 2 SO; 428 MIN; 2.10 GAA; .921 SAV %) of the Drakkar and Marc-Antoine Desnoyers (1-3-4; +6) of the Titan were also in the running.
Among the rookies, forward Mikhail Stefanovich of the Quebec Remparts takes home the hardware. Stefanovich has been a key figure for the Remparts in the early going. During the month of September, he scored three goals and added seven helpers in seven contests. Furthermore, he notched one powerplay goal and maintained a +3 differential. The Remparts have collected seven points in the standings so far this season.
Gerrit Fauser (5-1-6) of the Olympiques, Benjamin Lecomte (1-3-4) of the Remparts and Marek Benda (3-1-0; 208 MIN; 2.30 GAA; .921 SAV %) of the Screaming Eagles were also considered.
