TORONTO – The Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) announced Monday the names of the five players that have been selected as finalists for its Top Rookie Award for the 2025-26 campaign.
Each of the finalists were determined through a voting process completed by the CJHL’s nine-member leagues, for their respective efforts during the regular season.
Trevor Hill, (F) Portage Terriers (MJHL): The 2008-born forward from Texas broke onto the scene this season with a splash and earned himself the Kim Davis Rookie of the Year award as the top first-year player in the MJHL. … The 17-year-old Hill led the MJHL with 40 goals this season and finished ninth overall in league points (66), amongst all skaters, in 56 games. … The shifty Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL) prospect can put the puck in the net at key moments with his high energy motor making it hard for defenders and goaltenders to stop his momentum. … With Portage, Hill was the clear-cut top rookie in the MJHL this season.
