RBC Player of the Year: Travis Mayan, Melfort Mustangs
Mayan was the league leader in scoring with 40 goals and 44 assists for 84 points, tops in each category. Mayan’s production, which was exactly twice as much as the 42 he registered as a rookie last year, included several runs of five games each in which he scored at least one goal or one assist.
SGEU Most Valuable Player: Travis Mayan, Melfort Mustangs
By definition the most valuable player is one who makes an impact on his team in each and every game, and without him the level of success would be altered. Mayan falls in that category as he dominated the individual scoring race and in the process helped the Mustangs finish first overall.
SaskTel Top Goaltender: Evan Weninger, Kindersley Klippers
Weninger carved out a decent chunk of playing time as a 17-year-old rookie. Now he’s arguably the best 18-year-old Junior A goalie in the country. Weninger, who also had a spot on the Canada West roster for the World Junior A Challenge, paced the Klippers with a 27-10-2 record to go with a 2.06 GAA and a league-leading 0.942 save percentage. His GAA ranked second and he was third in wins.
IBAS Top Defenceman: Spencer Trapp, Notre Dame Hounds
Trapp is a complete package and a horse when it comes to logging ice time. An all-around performer, he is one of the best on offence with 12 goals and 22 assists in 55 games. He has three power play goals as well as one shorthanded. He also piled up 114 penalty minutes and is comfortable playing any style.
Coach of the Year: Trevor Blevins, Melfort Mustangs
Blevins took over the Mustangs in December 2013 with the team looking from the outside at a playoff spot. He has not only turned the franchise into a contender, but the Mustangs go into the playoffs as the odds-on favourite to win the Canalta Cup. Blevins led the Mustangs to a first-overall finish in the regular season for the first time in franchise history.
SJHL Rookie of the Year: Garrett Dunlop, Nipawin Hawks
Dunlop has recorded offensive numbers at greater than a point per game for most of the season and finished the season as the league’s leading rookie scorer. He was also seventh overall amongst all players. Dunlop was second on his team in points with 18 goals and 35 assists in 49 games.
SJHL Top Scorer: Travis Mayan, Melfort Mustangs
The end result wasn’t even close as Mayan recorded the largest margin in recent history to claim the individual scoring title, with 20 points over Flin Flon’s Chris Rauckman and Kindersley’s Owen LaClare.
