Stingers captain Jessymaude Drapeau, a fifth-year forward from Rivière-du-Loup, Que., continues to cement her legacy as one of the top players in U SPORTS.
Drapeau led the nation in scoring this season with 39 points, including 22 goals (ranking second) and 17 assists, earning First Team All-Canadian honours. During the campaign, she also surpassed the 100-point milestone for her university career while helping guide the Stingers to a dominant 22–2 regular-season record and a perfect 4–0 run through the RSEQ playoffs to capture the conference championship.
Off the ice, Drapeau’s excellence extends beyond hockey. She was named a recipient of the Weider Award, presented to Concordia University student-athletes who excel in sport, academics and community involvement, and she has also earned Academic All-Canadian honours. In 2024-25, Drapeau was honoured with the RSEQ Leadership and Social Engagement Award.
Her impact on the national stage was already well established after being named Championship MVP at the 2024 U SPORTS National Championship, where she played a pivotal role in leading Concordia to its second national title in three years and fourth in school history.
This marks the fourth time a player from Concordia has won the Player of the Year award – dedicated to the Brodrick family and its vision for the development of women’s hockey at both the university and throughout U SPORTS – but the first since three-time inaugural winner Corinne Swirsky (1998, 1999, 2000).
