The 20 year old tells us he was a bit surprised to win given that he only played 30 games this year but he is honored. Chabot says having the World Juniors experience just made the Sea Dogs season even more exciting.
Team Captain Spencer Smallman says they had a great year but they have two more goals to win the President’s Cup and the Memorial Cup.
He says it’s easier to be a relied upon member of the team when you have such a skilled group of guys with you.
Aa for Rimouski, Smallman says they are a good team so they have to be ready for them.
Smallman won the Community Service Award.
