Yannick Berger was the player who got hit the most during regular season this year, 122 times! Not sure what is the reason behind that impressive total, could just be the that players want to be close to him and always finish their checks? Either way, I believe season 39 was the second for Yannick in SMJHL and in Halifax.

Last year was his rookie year and even then he got hit 91 times, somebody could put the increase in hits taken on just simply getting more icetime and it´s true in a way - last year Berger played on average 21.17 minutes per game and this year 22.21 minutes, so increase of roughly one minute. Berger played on big role last year as well, but still managed to find a way to get hit 30 times more during his second year in the league, something about Berger just screams: hit me!

If we move from getting hit to something bit more positive, Berger was the top scorer in Halifax on his rookie year with 8 goals and 27 points in 50 games, those 27 points were the best number in the whole league among rookies by the way, so a great rookie year for Berger offensively.

As mentioned, this season Berger was hit a whopping 122 times, but still managed to collect the same point total as last year - 27 points in 50 games, 9+18! Bigger role and tougher matchups, but still managed to perform offensively - sign of a great player

Another positive change between seasons was Bergers shots taken rating, last year he got 87 shots and this year a decent 106! During both seasons he has been the player who shoots the most in Halifax. Increase in shots taken did not show on the scoreboard too heavily with just one more goal than last year, but the trend is positive, if and when the whole Halifax team keeps on improving, I could see Berger even reaching magical 20 goals next year!
