Night after night, Simon Lavigne delivered game-changing performances that made him a driving force behind Concordia’s success. As the team’s third-leading scorer, the Blainville, Que., product tallied 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists) in 24 games for the Stingers.
Defensively, Lavigne helped lead a Stingers unit that allowed the third-fewest goals in U SPORTS during the 2025–26 season, showcasing his reliability and effectiveness in shutting down the opposing attack.
From anchoring the defensive zone to driving the offence from the back end, Lavigne was a difference-maker every time he stepped on the ice. In January, during his team’s 13-game winning streak, the fourth-year finance student went on a seven-game point streak, ultimately helping to propel the defending OUA champions to second in the OUA East.
Across all situations, Lavigne proved his worth time and time again, including in the clutch, with one of the decorated student-athlete's pair of game-winners this season coming in overtime against rival McGill.
He is the first Stinger to win the award.
