Spokane Chiefs forward Berkly Catton has been awarded the Brad Hornung Memorial Trophy as the Western Hockey League’s most sportsmanlike player.
The 19-year-old Saskatoon product, who finished third in the scoring race, posted a career-low 30 penalty minutes. Late Tuesday in Game 6, Catton drew an assist as Andrew Cristall scored on the power play in double overtime in a 5-4 victory over the Victoria Royals to send them to the Western Conference final against the Portland Winterhawks.
Among the players he bested was Brandon Wheat Kings forward Jordan Gavin, who had no penalty minutes for the second season in a row.
The Seattle Kraken drafted Catton with the eighth overall pick in 2024. The Seattle-Portland series begins Friday.
Also Wednesday, Portland forward Kyle McDonough was awarded the Doug Wickenheiser Memorial Trophy as humanitarian of the year.
An 18-year-old product of Langdon, Alta., McDonough has worked with DSP Connections, an Oregon group that supports children and adults living with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities.
He also participated in a team-high 18 community events throughout the season.
In the Eastern Conference final, Game 7 between the host Calgary Hitmen and Lethbridge Hurricanes ended last night after deadline. The winner will advance to the final against the Medicine Hat Tigers, who swept the Prince Albert Raiders.
