ABRAM-VILLAGE – Chad Arsenault has not had very much time to take a break since September.
The Grade 10 student, who also plays a high level of competitive hockey, is very involved in the athletic program at Evangeline School. As a result of being a dedicated and hard-working member of Coyotes’ teams he is a part of, Chad has been named Evangeline School’s Greco Pizza/Capt. Sub student-athlete of the month.
The 16-year-old son of Raymond and Susan Arsenault of St-Raphael participates in P.E.I. School Athletic Association badminton, where he competes in singles and doubles; plays striker in soccer, and is considering running long-distance events in track and field later in the spring.
“Ever since Grade 7, Chad has been one of our top athletes in his age group for individual and team sports,” said Evangeline School athletic director Jason Arsenault. “He works hard and is not afraid to do what he needs to do. Chad is a great communicator, and knows how to read what the other team is doing. He always brings an unreal amount of dedication to the sports he takes part in.”
