Episode Notes

Today’s guest is Alexandre Gagnon, a second-year at McGill, studying Physical Education.

Born in Gatineau, QC., Gagnon captained the Cote-du-Sud Everest of the LHJAAAQ where he registered 67 points in 38 games. The five-eleven 176-pound forward joined the McGill Redbirds in 2020.

Gagnon is a speedy and tenacious forward that has tallied 1 goal and 2 assists through 12 games so far in his USPORTS career. Off the ice, Alex is a hard-working individual with great time-management and leadership skills. Alex's brother, Mathieu, has committed to play for the Redbirds next year and is currently the captain of Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (QMJHL).

In this episode, we discuss his insane fitness testing score, adjustments to taking classes in English, and so much more!

Also, it was a great week for McGill alumni Louis-Philip Guindon (2016-2021) and Ryan Penny (2018-2021).
