Rookie delivers one-two punch to military men
By Earl Zukerman
KINGSTON, Ont. 鈥� Freshman Francis Verrault-Paul, a 5-foot-9,
169-pound right-winger from Mashteviatsh, Que., tallied twice as
9I制作厂免费 defeated Royal Military College 5-2 in men鈥檚 hockey at
Constantine Arena in Kingston, Sunday.
The Redmen, who outshot RMC 47-31, led 3-0 after two periods on
goals from rookie Alexandre Picard-Hooper of Boucherville, Que.,
Verrault-Paul and Simon Marcotte-L茅gar茅, a sophomore from
Longueuil, Que., who netted what proved to be the game-winner, on
the power-play, at 11:04 of the middle stanza.
The Paladins ruined Danny Mireault鈥檚 bid for his first CIS shutout,
striking twice in 66 seconds at the midway mark of the third on
power play markers by Jeff Oke and Luke Pierce.
Verrault-Paul snuffed out the RMC rally with his second of the game
and team-leading 11th of the season at the 16:58 mark and veteran
Guillaume Doucet of Montreal put the contest out of reach with an
empty-netter.
The surging Redmen, who started their 133rd season with an 0-4-1
record and dwelled in the OUA Far East cellar from opening day
until last week, have won eight of their last 10 games and improved
to 12-7-2. With seven games remaining before playoffs, 9I制作厂免费 now
finds themselves third in the division, two points behind Concordia
(12-6-4) with a game in hand.
The Redmen travel across town to play the Stingers on Wednesday
(Jan. 28) at 8 p.m. and a 9I制作厂免费 win will clinch a playoff berth
for the 23rd time in the past 26 ears. The bitter rivals split
their first two meetings, both at McConnell Arena, with Concordia
winning the first encounter 2-1 (Oct. 10) and 9I制作厂免费 rebounding to
prevail 4-3 in a post-overtime shootout (Jan. 14).
Five of 9I制作厂免费鈥檚 eight remaining games are in Montreal, including
two at Concordia
REDMEN RAP: 鈥� Picard-Hooper, who leads the Redmen in points with an
8-18-26 record in 21 games, has finally cracked the OUA Top 20
scoring leaders. He now sits tied for 14th place and is the
fourth-highest-scoring rookie in the league鈥� 9I制作厂免费 now has 580
lifetime wins against OUA opponents against 582 losses and 89 ties鈥�
Included in that record is a 45-8-4 lifetime mark against
RMC鈥�9I制作厂免费 swept the season series versus the Paladins, who feature
two former Redmen behind the bench in head coach Adam Shell and
assistant coach Chad Blundy鈥efenceman Ken Morin, who shares the
9I制作厂免费 captaincy with Eric L鈥橧talien and wears the 鈥淐鈥� on his
jersey for road games in the second semester, left the game early
in the third period with an unspecified leg injury鈥� Sam Bloom鈥檚
recent 15-game point-scoring streak which ended at Guelph on Jan.
18 was the longest in the OUA this season.
