With their season coming to a close last week in the first round of the BCHL playoffs, the Langley Rivermen handed out some hardware on Tuesday (March 15) night as the junior A hockey club held their year-end banquet.
“It was tough singling out just one player for a specific award,” said Bobby Henderson, the team’s head coach and general manager. “There were a lot of guys that had a great season that could have won.”
Goaltender Bo Didur picked up the night’s biggest award as the team’s most valuable player.
Didur went 15-16-0-0 and two shutouts and was eighth in the entire league with a 2.99 goals against average. He also had a .907 save percentage.
Matthew Graham — who led the team with 66 points and was tied for the lead in goals with 24 — was named the top forward.
The top defenceman award went to Will Campion. He led the Rivermen blue-line with seven goals and 30 points.
Adam Sinclair (12 goals, 36 points) was the unsung hero winner while Justin Fregona (24 goals, 49 points) was the fan favourite.
Ryan Barrow (six goals, 20 points) was named the most improved and Torrin White (22 goals, 43 points) was the most dedicated player.
Justin Szeto (16 goals, 41 points) won the team’s community award and Max Kaufman (20 goals, 52 points) was the energy player award winner.
