I'm going to talk a little bit about two players who I believe are firmly in the running for the MVP award if the season were to finish today with player stats as they stand. The first player is Thomas Sawschuk of the Nevada Battleborn, the man who leads the league in both points and goals and has been nothing short of a sensation when it comes to offensive production this year. Scoring numbers play a huge role in MVP discussions and with Sawschuk having such a dominant run this year, I'd be surprised if he slowed down during the final games of the season, making him my clear choice as MVP favourite at this moment in time. Another player I think is potentially deserving of an MVP shout however is Sawschuk's teammate in Nevada, I-Stir MyPudding. MyPudding leads all defensemen in scoring in the SMJHL, while also posting impressive hits and takeaway totals, meaning he has been truly effective on both ends of the ice, something that definitely is deserving of some level of recognition. I'd be surprised if Sawschuk doesn't go on to win it, but there's certainly the potential for some other players to pip him to the post during the final week of the regular season.
