Centre Olivier Hinse of the Concordia Stingers men’s hockey program is the 2013-14 OUA East nominee for the Randy Gregg Award, presented annually to the athlete who best exhibits outstanding achievement in hockey, academics and community involvement.
On the ice, the Sherbrooke, Que. native collected 35 points and his 18 goals tied him for third in the OUA. Hinse was twice named the Concordia athlete of the week for his efforts and was also named to the OUA East second all-star team.
In the classroom the second-year assistant captain maintains a glowing grade point average while working toward his degree in Child Studies.
In giving back to the community, Hinse volunteered as a guide and media spokesperson for the Ed Meagher Arena renovation project and helps at the Concordia adult hockey conditioning camp. He also has taken the time to interact with youth and families at the Stingers holiday community skating party and help with the L'Abri en ville program which funds the integration of mentally challenged adults into the community.
