For my SMJHL MVP list I'd like to focus on three different kind of players who could win it.
1) Jason Warwaha F Newfoundland Berserkers.
The thing about Jason Warwaha is that he's really fantastic and has scored 46 goals this season while having not a ton of help in light of what we see at a club like Maine. When you think about Warwaha's individual impact on the ice it really goes to show you just how fantastic he is. The main problem is that Warwaha probably doesn't have the kind of presence as a player to really get the necessary votes to win.
2) Kristians Mikelis D Maine Timber.
Kristians is probably the best defender in the league and was 8 points shy of being a point per game player. To me in the modern game I feel like writers are too quick to forget just how imapctful and necessary a great defender is and what they offer so I think Mikelis would be a good pick.
3) Anastasia Soderstrom G Detroit Falcons.
Look Detroit wasn't the best team in the league but Anastasia is arguably the reason why they were so good with what they had. Posting a .916 SV% she's standing on her head putting Detroit in games.
