Luguentz Dort — Basketball
A native of Montreal North, Luguentz Dort competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics, helping lead Team Canada to the quarterfinals. A few months later, he played a key role in securing the franchise’s first-ever NBA title, having played for the team since 2019. Undrafted upon entering the league, he was also selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team, capping off an exceptional season.
Annie Larouche — President of Les Roses de Montréal
Annie Larouche brilliantly orchestrated the launch of Montreal’s first professional women’s soccer club. A visionary and a unifier, she successfully assembled a group of seasoned investors and firmly established the team within Montreal’s sports landscape. Under her leadership, the Roses made the playoffs in the Super Ligue du Nord in their very first season, marking a historic milestone for women’s soccer.
Patrik Laine and Jordan Leigh — Ice Hockey
Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine, known for his lightning-fast shot, and his partner Jordan Leigh have made a significant impact on mental health in sports. At the M.A.D. Festival, an event celebrating self-expression, they brought together and featured several Montreal athletes in a fashion show to break down the taboos surrounding mental health. This initiative is a continuation of their “From Us to You” campaign, launched in August 2024, which aims to raise awareness and support athletes in their mental well-being.
The winner will be announced at the Gala Podium Montréalon November 20.
