The Canadian Press has a release out, stating that Calgary Hitmen defenceman Karl Alzner is a double-winner in today's WHL awards. He beat out Americans defenceman T.J. Fast for the Defenceman Of The Year award, and Americans forward Colton Yellow Horn for the Player Of The Year award. This is the second year in a row that the same player has won both these awards - last year Medicine Hat Tigers defenceman Kris Russell won them both.
Alzner will now compete in those categories for the CHL awards which will be announced during the Memorial Cup. For CHL Defenceman Of The Year he'll be up against Drew Doughty (OHL) and Marc-Andre Bourdon (QMJHL), and for CHL Player Of The Year he's up against Justin Azevedo (OHL) and Francis Pare (QMJHL).
I'm not sure why CP has this out and yet the WHL doesn't have it up on their website.
Other WHL award winners today:
Rookie of the Year: Brayden Schenn, Brandon.
Goaltender of the Year: Chet Pickard, Tri-City.
Most Sportsmanlike Player: Tyler Ennis, Medicine Hat.
Coach of the Year: Dan Nachbaur, Tri-City.
Executive of the Year: Bob Tory, Tri-City.
Scholastic Player of the Year: Jordan Eberle, Regina.
Humanitarian of the Year: Ashton Hewson, Prince Albert.
Comparing the actual results to my predictions, I got Ennis and Nachbaur wrong. Oh well.
