MJHL announces Award winners and All-Star Team selections

February 20, 2015

 

Tristan Keck of the Winkler Flyers has been named the MJHL’s most valuable player, Commissioner Kim Davis announced today.  Currently, the 19-year-old from Morris tops all MJHL goal scorers with 40 in 55 games.

Keck was one of five major award winners announced today, joining three members of the Portage Terriers who were also recognized for their outstanding season. The MJHL also released its all-star teams today.

“Every player should be commended for their outstanding performance over the regular season,” said Davis. “Coaches of the league vote and make the selections. These selections are extremely difficult to make. The talent level our league is reflective in how difficult it was to select these respective teams.”
