Every year, the Conseil du sport de Montréal – a non-profit organization whose vision is to make Montreal a sporting metropolis – presents an award to the person who wins the title of Sports Personality of the Year. Last year, three women were finalists for the award: Audrey Leduc (athletics), Jacqueline Simoneau (artistic swimming) and Marie-Phillip Poulin.Marie-Phillip Poulin won

There are three finalists again this year: Luguentz Dort, who plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder and just won the NBA championship. Annie Larouche, who led the Montreal Roses to a playoff appearance in the club's first year of existence. Ah, and there's also Patrik Laine and his wife, who are nominated for the award.The gala will take place on November 20… but basically, it's interesting to see Laine and his wife, Jordan Leigh, among the finalists

On the ice, Patrik Laine helped the Canadiens secure their playoff berth during the recent season. But we also know that Laine and his wife were involved in some off-ice activities. They organized a fashion show in Montreal in August – an event designed to raise public awareness of mental health issues – and it turned out to be a resounding success. So much the better, if Laine and his wife have been recognized as important contributors to the evolution of sport in Montreal.

But at the same time, it's going to be hard not to vote for Luguentz Dort… who won the NBA championship and put the city of Montreal on the map with a truly exceptional feat.If I had to vote, at least, it would be for Luguentz.

'Overtime'
