What a special regular season in Toronto this year. The Legion finished the regular season with the franchise's highest points total (111) since S67 (113), winning the Victory Cup. The focus now shifts to the postseason, but it's important to acknowledge the regular season highlights before the real stuff begins. Here's a look back at the highlights of this regular season:

Castle Sets Career High in Wins

 

Joel Castle has had five straight seasons with 32 wins or more, but in his final season in the VHL, he set a career high of 43 wins. He also moved into second place all time in regular season wins for the Legion, a testament to his spectacular career and longevity in the blue and white. He now sets his sights on becoming the winningest playoff goalie in Toronto history. 

 

Stellar Rookie Season For Dukat

 

Gul Dukat made the jump from the VHLE to the VHL this season, and it was a spectacular season to kick off his career. Dukat topped the 50 point mark as a defender, finishing one point back of the lead for rookie defenders. Dukat led the Legion in hits by defenders, penalty minutes, and finished second in shot blocks, providing solid defense all season. This is the start of a bright career in the VHL for Dukat.

 

Jaks and Machado Make Magic

 

Jimi Jaks and Diego Machado joined together for Game #21 of the season this year, and what followed was a massive season of offensive production. Both players set career highs in Goals, Assists, Points, Plus/Minus, Shots, Hits, Game Winning Goals, and Powerplay Goals. It was an incredibly impressive season, on that the Legion will need to continue in the playoffs to achieve the goal of winning it all.
