Nominees for the MJHL’s six major awards were announced today and the Portage Terriers lead with 5 nominations.
“Each nominee should be extremely proud of their accomplishment and their excellence on the ice,” MJHL Commissioner Kim Davis said today. “The MJHL member clubs nominated players in each of the award categories. The voting for each award was done entirely by the head coaches.”
Winners will be honoured at a home game later this month, said Davis.
