For Benjamin RhΓ©aume, he said going to Sherbrooke is the best decision for him financially. But there is much more to his commitment than that. βI like the energy of the coaching staff, the guys and what they are building. I always liked being the underdog and proving people wrong and I felt that Sherbrooke would be the best fit in order for me to do so,β he said.
βThe coaches care for their players and I appreciated that a lot also. Iβve been coached before by Coach Chapdelaine and I really enjoy his type and methods. Head Coach Lecompte is very motivated and on a mission and I like his vision,β RhΓ©aume added.
