Pageau, DeSerres and Randazzo are the TELUS three stars of the month

Press Release

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League today unveiled the TELUS three stars of the month for December.

The first star is awarded to a Gatineau Olympiques. This time around, the honour goes to center Jean-Gabriel Pageau after he recorded ten goals and twelve assists for a total of twenty-two points in eleven games. He also managed to maintain a +10 rating while averaging two points per game. Pageau also registered two game-winners in the last four weeks and has collected at least one point in fourteen consecutive contests. Finally, he was named the Olympiques' Mid-season offensive player.

The second star goes to the Saint John Sea Dogs backstop Jacob DeSerres. The goaltender had an excellent month with a record of six wins and only one loss. He finished the month with a 1.55 goals-against-average and .929 save percentage by stopping 188 of the 198 shots he faced. His only loss occurred in a game in which he did not start. DeSerres finished the year on a very good note, adding a shutout to his record in a game against the Moncton Wildcats.

The third star is none other than defenseman Andrew Randazzo. In ten games, the Drummondville Voltigeurs defenseman registered three goals and six assists for a total of nine points in ten games. He also managed to maintain a +7 rating. He played a big part in the Voltigeurs’ success by scoring a wining goal: December 28th in a game against the Quebec Remparts that ended in overtime.
