1 - I'd have to suggest the obvious choice for MVP candidate number 1, the Lavoies. Both Mia the sniper and Edouard the playmaker have merited a co-nomination because there is no one without the other. The synergy displayed between the two is unmistaken, with 49 goals by Mia and 66 assists by Edouard, and finishing a point apart with 101-100. Mia also ranked 3rd in total shots and the pair accumulated a +97 goal differential, showcasing their dominance. Edouard also ranked 7th in forwards in penalty minutes, maximizing his production in spite of this stat.

2 - My second candidate may shock you. A surprising sophomore season by the Ottawa Highlanders that was led by captain Demir Bellona gets him this nomination. Tops in goals by a defenseman with 21, second in points with 51, third in hits with 129 and shots with 203, he was the linchpin that Ottawa rallied around in their #5 seed-finishing season

3 - Goaltender Grant Berd gets the final nomination here. 31 wins in 46 games for the Regina Elk catapulted them into third in the league. A league leading 2.58 GAA and 6 shutouts with a .907 save percentage as a rookie can only mean his team and draft stock rise very favorably for him.
