•    Was named to the QMJHL All-Rookie Team in 2007-08.

•   His father, Denis, attended a Pittsburgh Penguins training camp and started him in hockey at age four.

• His nickname is Sam and he wears number 71 because seven is his favorite number.

• His most memorable hockey moment was being drafted into the QMJHL – “it was very special to be drafted by the Rimouski organization."

• If he could have dinner with any three people he would choose: Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin.

• The one thing he couldn’t live without is the computer and the most embarrassing song on his iPod is by Celine Dion.
