MONTREAL, Que. - The silverware continues to pile up for McGill University hockey player Francis Verreault-Paul of Mashteuiatsh, Que.

He took home the Dr. Bobby Bell trophy as most valuable player at the annual Friends of McGill Hockey awards gala on Friday at La Brasserie Molson. Other major awards announced by head coach Jim Webster at the event went to forward Evan Vossen (most three-star selections) of Swift Current, Sask., goaltender Hubert Morin (most improved player) of St. Georges de Beauce, Que., and defenceman Sebastien Rioux (rookie of the year) of Chicoutimi, Que.

Verreault-Paul, a 5-foot-9, 178-pound left-winger, won the OUA scoring title with a 25-29-54 record in 27 league games. A 22-year-old science sophomore, he finished the campaign with 81 points in 47 games overall, including 38 goals, eight game-winning markers and two shorthanded efforts. He was voted OUA player of the year, earned OUA all-conference and CIS All-Canadian honours, won the Forbes trophy as McGill's male athlete of the year and was the Quebec conference nominee for the BLG Award, which goes to the CIS athlete of the year.

Vossen, a 23-year-old industrial relations junior, was presented with the Molson Cup award after being picked as one of the three stars in 15 games, including six first-star selections. The hard-nosed, 6-foot, 190-pound left-winger had a break-out year with 24 goals (five game-winners) and 59 points while suiting up for a single-season school record 49 games overall.

Morin, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound netminder who started the season in a back-up capacity, eventually won the starting role and established single-season team records for most games played overall (40), minutes (2,227), wins (27) and saves (1,006). The 22-year-old engineering sophomore posted a 27-11-1 record overall with four shutouts. He registered a 2.77 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage.

Rioux, a rearguard who measures 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, stepped into a starting role early on and saw his ice time improve significantly. The 21-year-old arts freshman tallied six times and finished with 18 points in 48 games overall, including seven points in 10 post-season encounters.

The soir茅e, which featured more than 100 alumni, parents and guests, was capped off by a presentation of a pewter mug, school tie, framed photo and game-worn jersey to each of the graduating seniors, including team captain Yan Turcotte of Laval, Que., who managed an impressive feat, playing at the CIS Nationals in four of his five seasons. In 185 career contests overall, the rugged blueliner had a 26-57-83 dossier with a school record 791 penalty minutes.
