Cypress River’s Carson Carels is up for the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as the Western Hockey League’s defenceman of the year. The 17-year-old Prince George Cougars blue-liner, who is ranked third among North American skaters by the National Hockey League’s Central Scouting, had 73 points in 58 games in his second WHL season.
He is joined by Bryce Pickford of the Medicine Hat Tigers, Winnipeg’s Jonas Woo of Medicine Hat, Daxon Rudolph of the Prince Albert Raiders, and a pair of Everett Silvertips, Landon DuPont and Tarin Smith.
The league also announced the finalists for the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy for the player of the year.
They are Medicine Hat twins Liam and Markus Ruck plus defenceman Bryce Pickford, JP Hurlbert of the Kamloops Blazers, Tij Iginla of the Kelowna Rockets and Cameron Schmidt of the Seattle Thunderbirds.
The finalists are voted on by WHL general managers. The winners will be announced from April 21 to May 6.
