Alex 2,876 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 The Scott Boulet Trophy is awarded to the two-way forward in the VHL each season. Of late, 2 players have won the Boulet 3 consecutive times with Mikko Lahtinen @Beketov (S74-S76) and Groovy Dood @bigAL (S77-S79). This raises the question of “will we see this again” as Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath has won the last trophy for the last two seasons and had another good season this time around with 125 points, 377 hits, and 33 shots blocked. Other players who had incredible two-way seasons are Taylor Mourning @scoop with 129 points, 349 hits, and 40 shots blocked, and Alex Johnston @Alex who had 107 points, 314 hits, and 41 shots blocked. Will Idaho continue the trend and capture their 3rd straight, or will a new player break the current trend? Let’s find out, the winner of the Scott Boulet Trophy is… Spoiler Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath ! Congratulations! voting: Idaho - 8, Mourning - 3, Johnston - 0 Shindigs, Garsh, Tate and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 2,876 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 The Jake Wylde Trophy, on the other hand, is an award recognizing the best defensive defenseman in the league, a role that is often overlooked and thankless. However we do have 4 finalists, first up we have Chicken Wing @chikn who was a +33, had 146 hits, and 242 shots blocked. Hard Markinson @STZ also had a remarkable defensive season as they were a +24, had 257 hits and 182 shots blocked. Additionally Tom Eagles @Greg_Di carried the brunt of the defensive load for Calgary last season and did a great job at that finishing the season with a +52, 217 hits, and 228 shots blocked. Lastly, Zdeno Chara @Jubis hit just about everything that came across the blue line last season as they finished with 270 hits in addition to 149 shots blocked and being a +25.
