Meanwhile, across the river...

Missed during the RedBlacks recent flurry of activity was Cegep de l'Outaouais Head Coach Denis Piché's resignation from his position with the club.  He was replaced shortly thereafter by defensive coordinator, and former UOttawa Gee-Gee defensive lineman, Sébastien Tétreault.

Piché took over as the team's second Head Coach for the 2011 season, replacing Alexandre Mathieu.  During that time, he recorded 14 wins and 10 losses (including a 4-4 record this past fall).

Tétreault held the defensive coordinator position during the previous two seasons.  Perhaps not coincidentally, since Tétreault also played the position, the Griffons saw defensive lineman Jérémie Rioux honoured as the top player at the position in the RSEQ's seven-team South-West Division.  Rioux has since committed to the Carleton Ravens program.  The following were also named to the league's all-star team.

Samuel Thomassin, offensive line
Julien Choquette-Daigneault, running back (74 for 593, 5 tds)
Sébastien Chénier-Dionne, linebacker (43.5 tcks, 4 sacks)
Wassim Hayder, defensive back (9 tcks, 3 INTs)

Julien Larente was recognised for his academic achievements.
