There is no doubt in Ryan's mind that Cristoforo Roccamontepiano is the unquestioned MVP of the SMJHL in Season 81. An unbelievable competitor with an unquestioned work ethic and a drive to be the best, Cristoforo scores naturally as he always finds himself in the dangerous areas, willing to do whatever it takes to get a play together that results in a puck in your net. It is lucky, perhaps, that such a dominant MVP is doing this at a point when his callup to the SHL is all but guaranteed. He is the kind of opponent Ryan wants nothing to do with as he moves forward in his SMJHL career. Oh, if only goalies could put up stats like that on their end, we might give those skaters something to sweat about in that MVP race. Time will tell what opportunities arise for the goaltenders, who are tired of being victims of recipients of hardware.
