Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 It was extremely difficult to make a 3-player ballot for this season's "Stolzy" ballot. Rookies were hard to come by in Season 37 which was dominated by the ridiculously talented top draft prospects Tom Slaughter and Slaeter Fjorsstrom. They are joined by Calgary's Martin Brookside on the ballot. BROOKSIDE, Martin - 5-39-3, .919SV%, 4.15GAA, 1SO FJORSSTROM, Slaeter - 72GP, 8G, 64A, 72P, +41, 46PIM, 75HIT, 118SB, 3GWG SLAUGTHER, Tom - 72GP, 22G, 54A, 76P, +43, 7PIM, 56.60FO%, 6GWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 And the winner of the S37 Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy is.... TOM SLAUGHTER! It could have been a tie had Brookside not received a solitary vote! Instead, Slaughter wins with 5 votes and Fjorsstrom has to settle for second place. Regardless, bright futures are ahead of this trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 Two of the nominees for Top Leader, including the winner, and last season's top two-way forward are up for the Scott Boulet Trophy. By the looks of it, it's a battle between offence and hits, as we have the league's top scorer against two of its best hitters, but with lesser points totals. An atypical ballot and the result should be an interesting insight into GMs' opinions. LANDRY, Thomas - 72GP, 41G, 47A, 88P, +27, 162PIM, 307HIT, 193HTT, 7GWG MCQUEEN, Brennan - 72GP, 35G, 49A, 84P, +13, 169PIM, 390HIT, 115HTT, 3GWG TORDAHL, Odin - 72GP, 51G, 64A, 115P, +40, 148PIM, 221HIT, 210HTT, 11GWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 And the winner of the S37 Scott Boulet Trophy is.... BRENNAN MCQUEEN! That hits/hits taken ratio was too much to turn down and Riga's captain wins his first award by the slightest of margins with 6 votes beating out Tordahl's 4. It's an excellent result in an sophomore season and with better offensive output McQueen has the potential to match David Smalling's career path.

Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 Remy LeBeau may have dazzled in the playoffs but the reigning Aidan Shaw Trophy winner seemed to be saving up his energy in the regular season. This opened the door for S36 breakthrough goalie Eggly Bagelface, now a key component of a playoff team in Vasteras, and Tuomas Tukio, for whom a change of scenery also meant a superb bounce-back season. The stats between the two are very close. BAGELFACE, Eggly - 37-19-8, .931SV%, 1.87GAA, 7SO, 1753SA LEBEAU, Remy - 42-19-3, .924SV%, 2.03GAA, 9SO, 1732SA TUKIO, Tuomas - 43-19-1, .930SV%, 1.82GAA, 13SO, 1681SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 And the winner of the S37 Aidan Shaw Trophy is.... TUOMAS TUKIO! The bounceback season is officially a success as Tukio at last wins an Aidan Shaw, joining S31 rivals Skylar Rift and of course LeBeau. 7 votes to Bagelface's 3 sealed the deal.

Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 If the Sterling Labatte Trophy ballot seems familiar it's because it is largely a carbon copy of Season 36. Rookie sensation Conner Low keeps dazzling and avoided the sophomore slump with an even better season which makes him the odds-on favourite for the Labatte. His main opponent is Malcom Spud, galvanised by a trade to cup contending Riga, where he already triumphed in Season 33. Alexander Valiq goes out with another ballot appearance and can be congratulated on a solid career, mainly with the Meute. LOW, Conner - 72GP, 27G, 79A, 106P, +28, 201PIM, 292HIT, 141SB, 2GWG SPUD, Malcom / - 72GP, 25G, 72A, 97P, +20, 93PIM, 135HIT, 175SB, 5GWG VALIQ, Alexander - 72GP, 18G, 55A, 73P, +25, 159PIM, 221HIT, 122SB, 5GWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 And the winner of the S37 Sterling Labatte Trophy is.... CONNER LOW! I could pretend it was close but it really wasn't. A 10-vote sweep for the Americans captain who is on track for greatness. Like, Scotty Campbell-level greatness. Or I suppose Sterling Labatte. #connerlowtho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 This sets up us nicely for some sim awards. In an offensively weak season, one could argue those who got more points actually are more noteworthy than in other seasons due to improved defences. Odin Tordahl and Conner Low of the New York Americans almost carried their team to the playoff with the most points (115) for the former and most assists (79) for the latter. Tordahl adds an award to his cabinet for the second straight season while Low wins two for the second year running, a truly remarkable feat for a sophomore. #connerlowtho The league's leading goal-scorer in Season 37 was Kameron Taylor who led the way for Cologne before being traded to Riga and turning them into cup contender. The end result: a first offensive award after years of anticipation with 54 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 Now then, onto the MVPs. As they won the Continental Cup in a near-record 10 games, it's logical to see the goalie and top scorer of the Toronto Legion on the ballot. The lack of a clear leader proved to be the undoing of the HC Davos Dynamo, so the remaining two spots go to the joint top scorers from the conference finals, veteran centers Osborne and Taylor. LEBEAU, Remy - 8-2-0, .943SV%, 1.62GAA, 2SO, 300SA OSBORNE, Ethan - 13GP, 7G, 12A, 19P, +4, 15PIM, 13HIT, 58.32FO% TAYLOR, Kameron - 13GP, 5G, 14A, 19P, +4, 59PIM, 35HIT, 57.20FO% ZHUMBAYEV, Anatoli - 10GP, 7G, 6A, 13P, +7, 9PIM, 21HIT, 2GWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,846 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Admin Share Posted May 10, 2014 This was nail-bitingly close, just like the the Continental Cup finals.... REMY LEBEAU sweeps the voting and wins the S37 Daisuke Kanou Trophy! I already dedicated an article about his place in history but here's his congratulations in the present.
