Hi everyone! I'm jfisherr, captain of the Crows and I'll be back co-hosting this year's S51 SMJHL Awards Show with fellow SHL member @DaftRaincloud. Sorry @cpetrella , we back.

With everybody a little touchy last offseason, this year will be more factual, less cringe-worthy inducing jokes, as we'll aim to celebrate those deemed worthy enough to win awards. Hopefully this one is received similar to the first and we can all celebrate and get along as friends.

Feel free to keep on reading for a refresher on how S51 of the SMJHL went! Hope you enjoy!

TEAM AWARDS

Quote:Four Star Cup Champions: Anchorage Armada

Oriens Trophy – Eastern Champs: Kelowna Knights

Occasus Trophy – Western Champs: Anchorage Armada

Congratulations to both teams for making it as far as they did, going all the way to Game 7 of the Four Star Cup finals. Carolina, the heavy favorite heading into the playoffs as the number 1 overall seed, who were coming off of back to back Four Star Cup championships, were upset in the second round in 6 games to the 8th seeded Whalers. This, coupled with 3rd seeded Halifax, as well as 4th seeded Lethbridge being upset in 5 and 6 games to St. Louis and Kelowna respectively, left the 2-seeded Armada as the favorite for the remainder of the playoffs, and they managed to pull through. Congratulations Anchorage!

Quote:Laurifer Trophy – Best Regular Season Record: Carolina Kraken - 73 points

The season before this saw the Colorado Raptors take home the Laurifer Trophy with 62 points, showing Carolina Kraken's season was much more dominant compared to last season. In fact, this is the most dominant regular season a team has had in recent memory, as the Detroit Falcons in S44 were the last team to break 70 points, as they had exactly 70. (Note, these Falcons also lost in the second round, as they lost to the 5th seeded Colorado Raptors - Scottey Crawfling shoutout) For those that have not heard of Scottey Crawfling, in this series, Detroit outshot Colorado 204-132. That is not a typo, they outshot them by almost 10 shots a game. It appears as though breaking 70 points is somewhat of a curse, but still, congrats to Carolina for one helluva regular season.

INDIVIDUAL AWARDS

Quote:Jared Hanson (Scoring Champ): @dylanjj37 Daniel Bischoff (62 points)

Daniel Bischoff (ANC) - 62 points
Khabib Nurmagomedov (DET) - 57 points
Bobby Bobcalf (VAN) - 54 points

With a few goalies reaching the 425 TPE cap, and a few more at the 350 cap, it seems scoring was down across the league, as after Fouquette led last season in scoring with 72 points, and three Scarecrows each break the 60 point mark, this season saw Bischoff lead the league in scoring with 62 points. Congrats on a great season!

Quote:Roberto Martucci (Goal Leader): @khabib Khabib Nurmagomedov (DET) - 31 goals

Khabib Nurmagomedov (DET) - 31 goals
James Ronlain (STL) - 26 goals (tie)
Bobby Lane (CAR) - 26 goals (tie)

Congrats Khabib! You may have a career after UFC after all.

Quote:Ronan O’Keefe (Playoff Scoring Champ): @NJBadApple Luciano Vessot (KEL) - 24 points

Luciano Vessot (KEL) - 24 points
Daniel Bischoff (ANC) - 23 points
Andrei Petrikov (ANC) - 22 points (tie)
Augustus Wang (ANC) - 22 points (tie)

In a bit of a shocker, the Knights #1 defenceman Luciano Vessot edges out the fleet of Anchorage players to be the league's leading playoff scorer. With Wang making the top 3 as well, two of the league's leading playoff point getters were in fact defenceman.
