Even his long time teammate M.Mavroudis was impressed by his fellow line mate, which speaks volume. Meanwhile, C.Gingras continued to be a force for the Classics, winning battles all over the rink and generating offensive chances.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Carl Gingras of the Classics. The Classics captured the 4vs4 division championship with a remarkable team effort, but it was C. Gingras who stood out as the driving force behind their success. Without the ball, Gingras showcased his exceptional ability to read plays and cut off passes, creating numerous high-end scoring opportunities for his teammates. His defensive awareness was crucial in neutralizing the opponent's attack, continuously disrupting plays and turning defense into offense. With the ball, Gingras displayed his unmatched skill set, controlling the pace of the game and orchestrating the offense. His vision and precise passing allowed the Classics to maintain possession and generate sustained pressure. It was through Gingras' influence that the Classics were able to capitalize on key moments and secure the championship victory.
