Mike Hoffman and Stanislav Galiev earned the right today to have their picture plastered on the QMJHL website for the month of December. Hoffman won the QMJHL’s offensive award for November while his line mate, Galiev, won rookie of the month. Victoriaville’s Kevin Poulin won defensive honors.“Mike Hoffman of the Saint John Sea Dogs is the award-winner on offence,” read a press release. “In ten games, the 20-year-old forward registered ten goals and ten assists while posting a remarkable +15 rating. Furthermore, four of his tallies wound up being game-winners. Finally, he failed to collect a point in only one contest. Saint John has won its last seventeen games and is closing in on the all-time record (25) held by the Sorel Éperviers (1973-74).”
“Stanislav Galiev of the Saint John Sea Dogs is the month’s top rookie. In nine contests, the first overall pick in last July’s CHL Import Draft collected three goals and nine helpers. He also posted a +14 rating. Galiev opened the offensive floodgates during the past four weeks, helping him get a share of the rookie scoring lead (29) with Jakub Culek of the Rimouski Océanic.”
Sea Dogs goaltender Marc-Antoine Gelinas was considered for the defensive award.
Somewhat surprisingly, this marks only the second and third time a Sea Dog has won player of month honors in team history. The other was Chris DiDomenico who collected offensive honors for the month of September in 2007.
