Here are all of my choices....
Coach of the Year: Trevor Stienburg (SMU) improved team's record by 6 wins (13pts) went from 5th to 3rd.
Runner-up Brad Peddle (SFX) improved by 5 wins (9pts) went from 6th to 4th.
Long-shot: G. MacDougall (UNB) finished 1st with 11 rookies
MVP: B. Thompson (ACD). Maillet's 1pt lead isn't enough to get him the MVP. Thompson has more goals and is a bigger part of Acadia's offense accounting for 17% of their goals vs Maillet's 11% for UNB.
Runner-up: P. Maillet(UNB)
Long-shot: M. Kirkpatrick(SFX)
Rookie-of-the-Year: B. Duffy(SMU) usually 30+ pts for a rookie in this league wins the award.
Runner-Up: R. Gazzola(UNB), 24pts and +21 is good, but it's been 13 years since a D-man has won this award (Kevin Young-UNB with 14G+15A=29pt).
Long-shot: Z. Franko(ACD) his numbers are less than Duffy's.
Best Defenceman: J. Murray(UNB) 3rd in scoring, but plays top minutes against the other team's best line and a +/- of +19.
Runner-up: R. Traccitto(UPEI) had the top points for a DMan and the most shots, but 9 of those goals came on the PP and a +/- of +3 isn't enough to get top honours.
Most Sportsman: Z Franko(ACD) to play all 28 games, score 30+pts and only get one minor - that's pretty impressive.
Runner-up: B. Duffy(SMU)
Best Goalie: A. Peters (SMU) 2nd best SV%, basically tied for 2nd in GAA, 16 wins in 22 starts. He's not 1st in any partiuclar catagoriy, but overall the best in the league.
Runner-up: M. Parks (UPEI), on any contender - an automatic champion.
Long-shot: D. Owsley(SFX)
The Godfrey Award: have to wait and see.
