Season 4 Awards

It's awards season again! Read on to find out who took home the hardware!


Scoring Title: Gord Roberts, LW, Bulldogs

Roberts notched 12 goals and 18 assists for 30 points, and joins Cyclone Taylor as the only players ever to crack the 30-point barrier (Taylor had 32 in Season 2). Roberts bested Taylor by two points and linemate Bruce Stuart by five to capture his first scoring title.

Runners Up: Cyclone Taylor, D, Victorias; Bruce Stuart, C, Bulldogs


Forward MVP: Gord Roberts, LW, Bulldogs

Roberts was the first-ever winner of this award back in Season 1, and he had an even better year this time around with a career-best 30 points and a plus/minus of +10, which was tops among all forwards in the league. 

Runners Up: Alf Smith, RW, Thistles; Frank McGee, C, Comets


Defenseman MVP: Cyclone Taylor, Victorias

Taylor, the league's premiere blueliner, takes this award for the third time in four years. He finished second in the league in scoring (13 goals, 15 assists) behind Roberts, and his +8 was fourth in the league and second among defensemen.

Runners Up: Jack Laviolette, Bulldogs; Hod Stuart, Thistles


Goaltender MVP: Bowse Hutton, Victorias

Like his legendary teammate Taylor, Hutton is now a three-time winner of the MVP award for his position. Hutton's save percentage of .924 was the second-best in league history, and his 2.13 goals-against average was the best ever. This year, he also became the first goalie to post two shutouts in a single season. 

Runners Up: Paddy Moran, Bulldogs; Riley Hern, Thistles


Rookie of the Year: Jack Laviolette, D, Bulldogs

After a slow start, Laviolette took the league by storm and set a league record for the most points by a rookie with 14 (5 goals, 9 assists). His +13 led the league and tied the mark for the highest single-season plus/minus rating.

Runners Up: Hugh Lehman, G, Millionaires; Harry Hyland, C, Victorias


Playoff MVP: Paddy Moran, G, Bulldogs

Bowse Hutton had the first-ever playoff shutout, and Gord Roberts and Tommy Dunderdale scored huge overtime goals, but Paddy Moran was truly the most valuable player in this postseason. His 2.80 goals-against average and .915 save percentage led all playoff goaltenders, and he set a single-playoff-game record with 42 saves in the overtime victory that clinched the championship for his team.
