The Athletic Department of the Moncton campus of the Université de Moncton will honour its student athletes on Thursday, April 2nd as 13 athletes have been nominated for the various awards. Please note that the Annual Sports Award Banquet was to be held on April 2nd but was cancelled because of the COVID-19 situation.

The men’s athlete-of-the-year award will be given to either Maxime St-Cyr, Saint-Didace, hockey; or Jean-Michel Dako, Moncton, soccer.
A hockey player from Val d’Amour, Francis Thibeault, and a Dieppe cross-country runner, Jérémie Gervais, are up for the men’s rookie-of-the-year title.
The choice for women’s rookie-of-the-year will be between four candidates: Cassidy Martin, Dieppe, volleyball; Zoe Brockbank, Grande-Digue, soccer and track and field; Caroline Gagnon, Moncton, track and field; and Pascale Lebeau, Louiseville, hockey.
