TOP REGULAR SEASON TEAM – CANTONNIERS DE MAGOG The Cantonniers de Magog unseated the defending LHMAAAQ champions and TELUS Cup silver medallists from Séminaire Saint-François to take top spot; Magog started strong, opening its season on a six-game win streak, but it was the finish that clinched top spot – the Cantonniers went a blistering 9-1-0 in their final 10 games to pull away from the Blizzard and take regular-season crown. Magog iced the LHMAAAQ’s best offence, scoring 161 goals. Patrick Guay had a league-high 35 goals and was fourth in scoring with 63 points. In all, six different skaters recorded at least 30 points, and seven hit double digits in goals.
