The Power Dodge Estevan Bruins went their separate ways Sunday night, but not before the team handed out its annual awards at a dinner at the Beefeater Plaza.
With a regular season that included 34 goals and 44 assists over 58 games, Zach Goberis was named the team’s most valuable player and scoring champion. He also split the team’s Iron Man award, not missing a regular season or playoff game along with teammate Jake Heerspink.
The playoff most valuable player was Bo Didur, the team’s goaltender who had a remarkable 2.35 goals against average during the postseason that saw the Bruins make it to Game 7 of the Canalta Cup final.
Kaelan Holt was named the team’s most popular player along with winning the Bill Shinske Ethics award. Jake Fletcher and Jake Tesarowski shared the Audrey Shinske Memorial Scholarship, and Hayden Guilderson won the Abe Berday Scholastic award.
Fletcher won the Mr. Hustle award, and Jayden Davis won the Estevan Bruins training staff heart award. Johnny Witzke went home with two awards, one for defenceman of the year and another for community involvement.
Tanner Manz was named rookie of the year, Mark Edmonds was the most sportsmanlike player, Aigne McGeady-Bruce was the team’s most underrated player, Tyler Hengen was the most improved player, and the ‘Rocky’ award was shared by Arthur Miller and Austin King-Cunningham.
Jennifer Durr won the team’s volunteer of the year award.
