Eighteen year old Malcolm Fenech, a resident of south Etobicoke and a first year university student attending Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he is majoring in biochemistry.

Malcolm grew up in Etobicoke, playing and participating in all sports. He first experienced organized sports with the Faustina Hockey Club and started in the house league but soon was playing select. Malcolm proved to be a very good goalie and moved up to the GTHL for a couple seasons, but was soon back with the Faustina Fury select team, this time he was honing his skills at the center ice position. Malcolm took pride in his face off skills, winning the majority of the draws, while racking up the points. Needless to say, Malcolm was the definition of a good two-way player.

As a volunteer assistant coach Malcolm led the on ice training for both Novice and Atom level goalies. He also volunteered at Faustina to time keep and record game stats for the house league.

Malcolm attended high school at Runnymede Collegiate where he played many varsity sports. This is where he discovered his true passion: football. In 2015, Fenech took it upon himself to recruit players and run the practices over the summer months prior to the school football season starting. That year, he quarterbacked his team to a city championship in the varsity division. He later played rep football for the Etobicoke Eagles and later the Junior Argos. In his graduating year he was named Athlete of the Year for Runnymede Collegiate. He was also awarded the Spirit of Runnymede Award for his school spirit and community service.

Currently, Malcolm is a freshman full back for the undefeated Dalhousie University Tigers. The Tigers just beat Holland College 29-11 for the Atlantic Football League Championship.

Malcolm was very appreciative when presented with his Athlete of the Month Award.

“I believe Malcolm recognizes that he was very lucky having parents and coaches that have always supported his athletic endeavors,” says Joanne Noble, Chair of the Board of the Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame who just orchestrated the 23^rd Annual Induction Dinner and who continues to recognize what depth of talent and sportsmanship we have in the Etobicoke community.
