S88 Team Awards

 

Another rough season in Toronto was expected but was widely seen as another stepping stone in the rebuild. They did slight improve on their goals for and against and while it didn’t translate into more wins the team was definitely more competitive than last season. The young core is taking strides in the right direction and the consensus is a playoff berth won’t be far off.

 

Here are some of the individual highlights:

-        Jimi Jaks @kelvi was nominated for the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy as Top Rookie (2^nd in rookie scoring)

-        Kyle Peace @Peace finishes his career with 255 goals, 5^th place on Toronto’s all-time goal scorers list

Here are the S88 Team Awards as voted by the Toronto players and management:

 

Best Defenseman

Quinn Clark @axtron

An almost unanimous decision for this award, Quinn Clark improved on his solid rookie campaign by leading Toronto with career-highs of 36 assists and 160 blocked shots.

 

Rookie of the Year

Jimi Jaks @kelvi

As mentioned above, Jaks was one of the best rookie in the league in S88 and was a nominee for the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy as Top Rookie. He finished second among league rookies for goals (18) and points (43) and led all rookies in GWG with four which also tied him for the team lead. His 43 points were fourth on the Legion and he also led the team with three shootout goals.

 

Unsung Hero

Dens Oden @Snussu

Oden was a jack-of-all-trades for the Legion especially by being a staple on special teams. He led the team in power play points (21), was second in goals (27), points (55), and shots (340) and third in hits (118).

 

Most Energetic

Joel Castle @animal74, Alex Bridges III @Oatex

Both Castle and Bridges III were known for their energy on the ice and in the locker room. While that may not have translated on the score sheet how they would have hope, their tireless work ethic and enthusiasm inspired their teammates. Bridges III was third in hits (135) on the Legion while ranking second in ice time among forwards. Castle faced the second-most shots in the league and still posted a solid 0.922 save percentage.

 

Most Gentlemanly

Alex Bridges III @Oatex

Always an encourager in the locker room and a relative gentleman on the ice with only 42 penalty minutes, the kindness and sportsmanship displayed by Bridges III was felt by teammates and opponents alike.

 

Most Valuable Player

Mac Atlas @v.2

An easy choice for MVP, Atlas improved in his second season to lead the Legion in goals (32), points (59), shots (363), power play assists (14) and tied for the lead in GWG (4). He was the straw that stirred Toronto’s offense especially after Kyle Peace’s departure.

 

Legionary of the Year

Joel Castle @animal74

Most teams have a “glue guy” and Castle was that for the Legion. His presence was constantly felt in the locker room and as the backbone between the pipes. From his excellent play to his team-building antics, he cemented himself as someone teammates could trust.

 

3-Stars Award

Joel Castle @animal74

Castle kept the Legion in games most nights. He faced the second-most shot in the league – over 37 shots a game – and stopped a high percentage of them. It didn’t translate into many wins but his puck-stopping display won him many Stars of the Game.
