Toronto VHL Award Candidates

[animal74 1,855]

Although being one of the lowest scoring teams and in the bottom of the standings generally doesn’t do your players any favors when the VHL Awards nominations come around, the Toronto Legion have a few players that may garner some attention with some being legit and others more of the darkhorse variety.

 

Jimi Jaks, C @kelvi – Dustin Funk Trophy (Most Improved)

Already 10 points ahead of last season (his rookie year), Jaks has been red-hot lately with 22 points in his last 14 games. If he keeps up that pace, that would give him 78 points which would be 35 more than last season which is plenty to garner attention for the Dustin Funk Trophy

 

Bobby Bob, D @Baby Boomer – Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy (Top Rookie)

Currently sitting in 5^th place in the rookie scoring race with 30 points, Bob is in a pack of four rookie defensemen all trying to chase Jasper Davis. Bob has as good a chance as any of the other blueliners as he’s among the rookie leaders in plus/minus, PPG and GWG.

 

Joel Castle, G @animal74 – Aidan Shaw Trophy (Top Goalie)

For the entire season, Castle has been in the Top 5 of starting goalies for SV% and GAA, usually in the Top 3 and currently sits tied for 1^st for SV% (0.934) and 2^nd in GAA (2.32). Historically, those are Aidan Shaw numbers but his wins total will hurt his chances. Due to his brilliant stats, he could also have an outside chance at the Greg Clegane (Lowest GAA), Scotty Campbell (MVP), or Brett Slobodzian (MOP) Trophies depending how the league views his performance compared to Toronto’s place in the standings.

Best of luck to all of them.
