Canadiens Prospect Named WHL Player Of The Year
The Canadiens have a great prospect in this youngster.
Montreal Canadiens prospect Bryce Pickford recently won the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as the WHL's Defenseman of the Year. Now, Pickford has added another big award to his trophy case due to his fantastic season with the Medicine Hat Tigers. Pickford has now won the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy, which is given to the WHL's Player of the Year.
When looking at how well Pickford played this season with Medicine Hat, it is not difficult to understand why he has been named the WHL's MVP. The right-shot defenseman simply dominated this season with Medicine Hat, as he recorded 45 goals, 38 assists, 83 points, and a plus-56 rating in 55 games with the WHL club. With how well Pickford performed this season with Pickford, it is hard not to be excited about his future with the Canadiens.
The young blueliner certainly is capable of producing strong offense from the point, and it is going to be interesting to see how he performs once he makes the jump to the professional level. Nevertheless, it was a special year for Pickford and being WHL MVP only adds to it. YEAR OF THE TIGER!
