He is also now the joint leading goalscorer in CPL Finals history, sharing that honour with teammate Alessandro Hojabrprour, who also found the fact of the net in the 2022 edition. Choinière also found the back of the net in the second leg against Cavalry during the 2019 finals.

Choinière is the second member of the Forge squad to be named the league’s player of the month in 2022, after Woobens Pacius earned the honour in July. Pacific’s Marco Bustos (April), Atlético Ottawa’s Ollie Bassett (May), Former Cavalry FC forward Aribim Pepple (June), Valour FC’s Sean Rea (August) and York United’s Mo Babouli (September) round out the list of 2022 Player of the Month recipients.
