(VERSION FRANÇAISE CI-DESSOUS) HALIFAX –
Cedric McNicoll of McGill University Redmen merited CIS All-Canadian second team honours at the CIS hockey awards gala Wednesday night.
McNicoll, a shifty 5-foot-10, 186-pound centre from Boucherville, Que., becomes the 20th All-Canadian in McGill hockey history (see complete list below). He was voted most valuable player of the OUA East Division after finishing tied for fourth in the OUA scoring race with 34 points, including 11 goals in 25 games. A 25-year-old management junior, he either scored or assisted on 33.3 per cent of the team's 102 goals. McNicoll is in his second year with the Redmen and his final year of eligibility after a three-year pro career in the AHL and ECHL.
