Rookie Kyla Hughes attended for the first time the McGill University track and field team challenge in Montreal and won the bronze medal in shot put. The open and university meet attracts the top athletes in eastern Canada. She won second in university division, with a throw and personal mark of 27.37 m. She is ranked twelfth in Canada and gained eight of the 26.5 points for her team, which ended in eighth spot in the final team standings. She is a kinesiology student.

The Aigles Bleus defensive squad was very busy in the two men’s hockey games of the week. The opposing teams had 88 shots on goal and Justin Guénette was an important member of the defensive team. He needed to protect his goaltender and make sure rebounds were not going in front of the net. He is a criminology student.
