lauko got hosed, not even on the all-star team despite leading tourney in points.
and how does teasdale win MVP but not get on the team? bizarre.
2019 Memorial Cup All-Star Team:
Goaltender – Alexis Gravel (Halifax Mooseheads)
Defence – Sean Durzi (Guelph Storm)
Defence – Noah Dobson (Rouyn-Noranda Huskies)
Forward – Isaac Ratcliffe (Guelph Storm)
Forward – Félix Bibeau (Rouyn-Noranda Huskies)
Forward – Benoit-Olivier Groulx (Halifax Mooseheads)
I'm not positive, but I believe Sportsnet picked the team.
It's an issue I have with the CHL - the OHL in particular because I know it the best of the three leagues.
There's a bunch of quality people credentialed by the CHL to cover the league(s). I have been lucky enough to be credentialed for a dozen years now.
The sad part, unlike the NHL for example, is that the CHL gives us only one award to vote on - Player of the Year. We are shut out on every other award, including all-star teams.
In comes Sportsnet who join in late in the season, televise maybe a dozen games and the Memorial Cup, and they call the shots. Not fair to those that are in rinks almost every night covering and promoting the leagues.
