The John McBride Trophy is nominated to the SHL Regular Season's best goalie, and these three goalies had a phenomenal season! No matter the quality of the players playing for or against them, these goalies found ways to steal games and be the difference makers for their teams in S42. Without the 3 goalies listed here, its hard to imagine where these teams would have been during this past season.
And the nominees for this year's John McBride Award are...

Alexis Metzler |
Zander Rhys
And the winner is...
Alex Metzler from the Buffalo Stampede
CONGRATULATIONS @“Avakael“! Metzler posted up with a phenomenal 52 point season, leading all defenders in points and also finishing first on the Stampede as well! Also finishing as a +16, and 68 shots blocked (good for top 10 in the league), he truly was deserving of the Stevens this year! Congrats on a great season man!
The Ryan Jesster Trophy is awarded to the SHL's Rookie of the Year! These 3 nominees have just wrapped up their first season in the SHL after dominating the J, and they had 0 problem stepping up and continuing their strong play! These players will have a high bar to overcome in their sophomore year, but this has been a fantastic way to begin what will hopefully be a long SHL career
And the nominees for this year's Ryan Jesster Award are...
Mikhail Petrikov |
Anders Christiansen |
Walter Hobbs
And the winner is...
Walters Hobbs from the Texas Renegades
CONGRATULATIONS @“Jearim”! Hard to see the success of some goalies after the season FourFour Jr. just had, but Hobbs could not be ignored! Making a huge name for himself in his rookie year, and taking the reigns for Texas incredibly well, Hobbs will the backbone of the Renegades roster for a long time, and he’ll have this Jesster to motivate himself next season. Congratulations dude!
Great teams don’t just grow on trees! Without strong, competent and smart management, its hard to imagine any of the top teams would stay performing so consistently well. Being a GM can be a difficult and sometimes unappreciated, but its one of the most important jobs on the site nonetheless! The Lance Uppercut Trophy is awarded to the best GMs throughout the SHL Regular Season.
And the nominees for this year's Lance Uppercut Award are...
Hamilton (DrunkenTeddy and Sleepy) |
Texas (dank and JumpierPegasus) |
Edmonton (karlssens and Ace)
