Anderson MacDonald named to QMJHL Rookie All-Star Team
MONTREAL, April 5th, 2017 – The Golden Puck Awards, presented annually by the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, were held this evening at the Capitole in Quebec City. This year, eleven prestigious trophies were awarded to the most deserving personalities of the 2016-17 season. Five junior hockey legends were also inducted into the QMJHL Hockey Hall of Fame.
Hosted by Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek and TVA Sports’ Louis Jean, the evening was a huge success.
“This evening represents a superb gathering,” said the Commissioner, Gilles Courteau. “Over 350 people were present to welcome and honour five new members to our Hall of Fame: Luc Lachapelle, Francis Bouillon, Gaston Therrien, JS Giguère and Brad Richards. This event was made even more special as past legends receive the recognition they deserve for their exceptional careers next to the biggest names of tomorrow. In fact some of our award winners might one day become inductees.”
