 S88 Calgary Wranglers season awards 

 

Another season is now in the books. After a phenomenal run to the cup, the Wranglers had a season full of ups and down ultimately falling in the semi finals to the Seattle Bears ( ). Overall, I wouldn't consider this season a bad one. Calgary had some problems, mostly at the start, but the team fought through them and bounced back. The roster didn't change a lot from S87 to S88 with the only change being Marcel Janser. Maybe a single change, but still a meaningful one. For the upcoming s89, we already know that the team will change a lot after losing the likes of @Doomsday, @RileyLand @Eso. For the 2nd season in a row, I will be writing the media spot to get those sweet TPE, but all the winners were chosen by the legendary gm of the Wranglers @Ricer13. Without further ado let's get started !

 

 Most Valuable Wrangler 

Oskar Lindbergh

Ending not only his Wrangler tenure but also his career as a whole, @Doomsdayisn't leaving without a legacy behind. He has a 100% MVP rate as a Wranglers that's impressive! It's not the only impressive thing about Lindbergh's career, but for now, let's focus on S88. In the regular season, the netminder had a very honorable .924% and a 2.75 GAA with only 1 shutout. The playoff is where Lindbergh outplayed all the levels he's ever reached. In 11 games he had, listen carefully, a .941 save % !!!!!!! The rest of his statline include a 2.01 GAA and 2 shutouts. Safe to say Lindbergh wasn't close to being washed when the time to unlace his pads came.  In his 2 season here Oskar really made his presence felt in the LR and losing him will be tough for us. 

 

 

 The Sheriff's Badge 

Vincent Laroche-Gagnier

 

Hey! I know that guy. The sheriff's badge is given to the player who has shown the most leadership. In a locker room full of leaders the one who ultimately receives the badge is @vincentlg2007. It's always funny to give ourselves an award lmao  but once again I repeat Ricer choose the awards! It's a very awesome price to win that's for sure and as mentionned, in a LR full of leaders it's tough to only choose one even for the ones without letters and being the one chosen is flattering. So the reason why I won it was because of my activity level always growing, my high earning ( writting this will help with that lol) and finally, my desire to always get better. I'd like to take the spotlight here to announce 2 things 1) @Banackockbeware me, I just got my bear hunting license and I plan to use it fully on your team. 2) In S89, it's 30 goals or nothing for VLG.

 

 

 Top Shelf Award 

  Landon Wolanin & Leandro Goncalves

Last season,  @jacobcarson877 won his first Top Shelf Award given to the Wranglers player who scored the most goals in the season. Well this season, someone else wins his first Top shelf award, it's @leandrofg, yes leanfrog himself! This doesn't mean Wolanin didn't go back to back! We do have a tie for the most goals ladies and gentlemens ! Both of the S83 forward starting with L  have scored 42 goals this season making them tied for 5th in the league ! 2/3 of the Wranglers feared trio proved once again why they're considered beasts.  

 

 

 Rybak Trophy 

Daniel Janser & Landon Wolanin

 

Certified first ballot hall of famer @Daniel Janser wins yet again the Rybak trophy given to the Wrangler with the most points this season. Once again, @jacobcarson877 decided to come in and make a tie smh. All jokes aside, both the mens had fantastic season. Ending the season tied 5th for points both have a pretty good rally of 93 points. It's always a pleasure to see Daniel Janser on the ice and even close to the end he is still playing some brilliant hockey. Wolanin will be happy that he doesn't have a 99 points season again even tho he probably wishes he did, will the 100 point mark finally become a reality for Landon next season ?

 

 

 

 Last Line Award 

AirRig Gudbrandson

 

Going back to back to back to back on the award this season we have @Rhynex Entertainment bringing home the award for top defenseman. While there were 2 very strong choices the pick ultimately ended up being AirRig Gudbranson. With a total of 65 points he might have less points but his defensive game on the other hand had a step up. 152 shots blocked, 127 hits two very impressive stats for the S83 canadian defenseman. There's one question on everyone's lips tho: Will AirRig Gudbrandson continue gatekeeping the award in S89 or will someone else win it ? Gudbrandson is obviously not past his prime and seeing him win his 5th last line award in a row wouldn't surprise anyone

 

 

 Jubis Memorial Trophy 

 Landon Wolanin

 

The jubis memorial trophy is given to the member of the organisation who demonstrates the most potential for long term success. Well, @jacobcarson877isn't only based on long term success that's for sure! In his first season as a VHL Gm the Marlins superlegend won the continental cup !!!!!! Safe to say GM Jacob Carson is set for some long term success in the gm world as well as on the ice with Landon Wolanin who I repeat won both the most points and most goals award ( both tied). Jacob Carson is someone that will be a strong candidate for the David Knight trophy for pretty much his entire career.

 

 

 

 Young Buck Award 

Mason Rice

 

The winner of the young buck award given to the wrangler's top prospect is @Sawyer13. Despite playing bottom minutes in a terrible Vasteras team ( sorry @Lemorse7but you have to admit it) Mason still continued to earn TPE week after week as a Welfare + earner. A marlins legend, he was drafted by Vasteras 12th in 88 and by our lovely Wranglers 16th. In his first season in the E, Mason had 29 points with 14 goals. In the WJC he had 5 points in 10 games for team world along with 4 points in 3 playoff WJC games. At 347 tpe, Mason Rice will make a long awaited VHL debut in no time

 

 

Here is the end of this season's award show. Congrats to every winner of this ceremony but also to every Calgary affiliated member. This season was a wonderful one for the team and we're looking forward to another wonderful season in 89.
