The duo shared the team’s Most Valuable Player award as well as being co-named the Best Offensive Player.
The pair also finished the season tied for the lead in team scoring with 35 points each.
In other individual awards for hockey, fifth-year senior Callum Fryer (Oakville, ON) was selected as the team’s best defensive player for the second year in a row, but this season he shared the honor with freshman Troy Williams (Dryden, ON).
Kyle Auger (Thunder Bay, ON) was named the Freshman of the Year after an outstanding rookie campaign, and the award for Best Work Ethic was split between junior forwards Cooper Leitch (London, ON) and Brett Wolframe (Thunder Bay, ON).
Wolframe was also given the Hank Akervall Memorial Award, given to a Lakehead University student-athlete who has demonstrated excellence in athletics while keeping a good academic standing combined with community involvement.
