Dream now reality after LB joins Stingers family

Concordia welcomes QuƩbec commit to their Class of 2017.

Maxime Grenier, a linebacker from CĆ©gep Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, has had a lifelong love affair with the Concordia Stingers, so it is only fitting that he will be suiting up for them in the fall.

ā€œWhen I was young, my grandfather took me to see some games of the Stingers. Since that, I was loving this team and now that I had to make a choice between Bishopā€™s and Concordia, I for sure choose Concordiaā€ he said.

Having spent three seasons with Les GĆ©ants du CĆ©gep St-Jean-sur-Richelieu (RSEQ Division 1), Grenier is ready to ramp up his game. And what better place to do so than at the U Sports level?

ā€œThe coaches at Concordia are really good and I think they could be a good factor for getting me to another level,ā€ Grenier said. ā€œCoach Patrick Donovan will for sure be a good coach for me as a defensive player. I think I will have an opportunity to establish myself with them.ā€

Standing at 6ā€™2, 200lbs, Grenier is interested in taking Administration. He said he also chose Concordia because he wants to study in English and become a better speaker of the language. He will be heading west to MontrĆ©al from his small community of Marieville, QuĆ©bec.

ā€œI want thank the coaching staff from Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu for helping me to become the player I am,ā€ Greiner said. ā€œWithout them, I would not be able to play for Concordia.ā€
