Hello SHL world and once again welcome to the seasonal Awards Review! We have another wonderful slate of deserving nominees and impossible decisions from the Committee. As a member of said Awards Committee, I am hoping to provide both some needed insight into how each nominee came to be, as well as give you, the reader, a better glance at some of the league’s best that you may or may not be familiar with.

For returning readers from previous Awards Review posts, you will notice that the cards have a new look to them. The information shown is, for the most part, the same as in previous seasons. Before we get into the post, I just want to make a small note of the changes from the old cards to the new cards.

Time on Ice (EV, PP, SH): all three time-on-ice metrics have changed from being raw time to minutes. For the moment, instead of being in MM:SS format, it is in minute decimal format. The hope is that this change will give the reader a better and clearer understanding of the actual time a player spends in each situation.

per-minute ratios: previously, I had included in the card each player’s per-minute ratios for different stats. These were, in almost every case, very small numbers that didn’t really make sense to look at. In the new card, they have been changed to per-60 minutes played. This is more in line with what we see with other stats, like Goals For/60, Goals Against/60, and other IRL variants. Penalty minutes/60 has also been added.

iGoals, iAssists, and iPoints/60: these three metrics are my way of showing how many goals, assists, and points a given player scores per 60 minutes played. We often hear the arguments that a player only had a lot of points because they played a lot of time, but how often does that argument really hold weight? These metrics should give a better indication of how well a player performed relative to their time on ice.

Penalty Minutes: this was not included in the previous version of the card and has been added to the updated card.

Without further ado, let’s jump into the awards! As always, I will be going through the awards post as it was posted, following the same awards order and nominee order as the original post.

---

John McBride (Best Goaltender)
Anthony Dionne

Dionne tended the goal for the Central Division winners this season, appearing in 54 games for the Renegades. Playing behind a top-3 defense in the league, Dionne did not let that go to waste as he finished with a .902 save percentage on the season with four shutouts. One of the few goalies with a goals-allowed-average below 3.00, Dionne is looking to take home his first domestic award after taking home the IIHF’s Top Goalie award in S69.

Casey Fantobens

The Stampede netminder once again returns to the nominee list after yet another stellar performance in S74. The former first round draft pick finds himself nominated for a fourth time yet has not been able to win the award yet. The league leader in Goals Saved Above Replacement and Goals Saved Above Average only managed two shutouts, but of all goalies who appeared in at least 33 games, only four faced more shots per game than Fantobens.

Justin Time

Speaking of goalies looking for their first McBride win, the now-former Blizzard goalie finds himself nominated also for the fourth time in his career. The league’s wins leader each season since S71 continued to add to his potential Hall of Fame resume with another outstanding season. Despite seeing the third least shots per game, Time managed the sixth best GSAR and GSAA. Another impressive season for an impressive goalie, will it be enough in the eyes of the committee?

---

Scott Stevens (Best Defenseman)
Philippe-Eko Eel

The Inferno’s top-scoring defenseman in S75 finds himself nominated for an SHL award for only the second time in his career, the first being an Aidan Richan nomination in S73. While setting a career high in goals with 18, Eel was among the league’s best in assists, points, shots for, and takeaways for defensemen. Even with 13 giveaways, Philippe found himself better than 70% of the league’s defensemen in Takeaway/Giveaway ratio. Eel was also better than his team in every per-60 metric outside of GF/60, which the committee typically overlooks when it is a positional points leader on a team. A fantastic season for Eel, we shall see if it is enough to take home his first award win.

Emil Egli

After being nominated for the Bojo Biscuit in S74, Egli set his sights on the other award given strictly to defensemen. Leading the league in goals by a defenseman with 25, Egli also led in Corsi against/60 and Fenwick against/60. To lead in both goals and in allowing the least chances relative to time played is fantastic, and that is ignoring the fact that Egli was in the 90th percentile or better in assists, points, hits, takeaways, GA/60, SA/60, and shots blocked. One glaring red flag for Egli, though, is his lack of discipline, leading the league’s defensemen in penalty minutes with 70. Just how much those penalty minutes hurt, though, will be known once the winner is announced.

Isaac Forty-One

The second Blizzard defenseman on the nominee list finds himself nominated for an award for the first time in his career. The overall league leader in points for defensemen, Forty-One also broke the 20-goal barrier with 21. What is truly impressive by Isaac, though, is that he finished the season in the 95th percentile or better in each of GF/60, GA/60, and SA/60, settling for a 90th percentile SF/60. I’m overlooking the -.0.01 difference in GF/60 compared to EDM as those are pretty much even at that point while the other three per-60 metrics are all better than the Blizzar as a whole. With impressive puck possession metrics and Corsi against/60 and Fenwick against/60 that were only outdone by teammate Emil Egli, Forty-One makes a strong case to take home his first award win in his first opportunity.

---

Bojo Biscuit (Best Defensive Defenseman)
Jolngustraaduvich DuBolk

DuBolk finds himself nominated for the Bojo for a second consecutive season for his second ever award nomination. DuBolk was quite protective of the puck, only turning it over 8 times to 65 takeaways, good for 80th percentile and 90th percentile finishes respectively. DuBolk logged heavy time, too, averaging more than 23 and a half minutes a night. On a middle of the pack team in terms of goals allowed per game, DuBolk was in the 87th percentile for GA/60 and was over a goal against better than Tampa Bay as a whole. DuBolk was trusted on the PK, too, with over two minutes of shorthanded time per game. Very impressive defensive results from DuBolk as he hopes to avoid missing out on a Bojo win for a second consecutive season.

Hodor

Awards fans are no stranger to the Renegade known as Hodor. This is Hodor’s third time being nominated for the Bojo, including a Bojo win in S73. Holding the door for one of the West’s strongest teams, Hodor has long been one of the league leaders in shots blocked. There is almost no offense to Hodor’s game, but that isn’t what he has interest in doing, and it is not what this award looks at, either. Defensively, Hodor led the league in shots blocked once again, was in the 90th percentile in terms of least penalties taken, had the second lowest GA/60, and was in the 95th percentile of shorthanded ice time and 98th percentile of SA/60. Hodor wholeheartedly embodies what it means to be a defensive defenseman, but does his lack of interest taking the puck away keep him from adding another Bojo win to his award cabinet?

Lester Oiduser

At risk of sounding like a broken record, Oiduser is a very similar case to Hodor in the fact that this is his third time being nominated for the Bojo, with one of those nominations resulting in a Bojo win. Unlike Hodor, though, Oiduser is looking to repeat as the league’s Bojo recipient. Sin S75, Oiduser was among the league leaders in shot blocks even when taking into account time played. Oiduser’s shorthanded time on ice was eerily similar to Hodor, and also did not take many penalties when you factor in how many penalties other defensemen around the league took. There are two main differences between Oiduser and Hodor, though. First, we have the puck possession metrics. Hodor didn’t often give the puck away, but he didn’t often take it back, either. Oiduser, however, turned the puck over fairly frequently but mitigated it by taking away the puck at a rate that found him in the 83rd percentile for takeaways by a defenseman. Secondly, GA/60. Oiduser wasn’t an outlier in this metic, but was still better than league average as he found himself in the 65th percentile for GA/60. Still, this was good for being over a half-goal better per-game than New Orleans as a whole, who struggled defensively signifcantly more than Texas did.

---

Jeff Dar (Best Two-Way Forward)
Binko Koivu

The former Atlanta Inferno Co-General Manager finds himself nominated for an award for the first time in Binko’s career after an impressive two-way season for the Eastern Conference powerhouse. As a winger, Binko broke the 100-point barrier with 41 goals and 64 assists. Binko didn’t overly impressive with GA/60 and SA/60, but what carries him here is his impressive possession metrics, 97th percentile shorthanded ice time, 99th percentile hits, 83rd percentile shot blocks, and above league average takeaways. Will all of this be enough to overcome his shortcomings in GA/60 and SA/60?

Ivan Lacksamus

We truly are witnessing a future first ballot Hall-of-Famer here, folks. If you haven’t heard of Ivan Lacksamus before, take note. This is Ivan’s twelfth award nomination and third Dar nomination, looking to secure his eighth award win and first Dar win. Let that soak in for a moment. As for his season, Lacksamus fell just short of 100 points with 39 goals and 57 assists for the Wolfpack. His giveaway totals might be concerning if it weren’t for the fact that Lacksamus was a trusted center of a dominant possession team, giveaways are to be expected in that position. Still, they are a little high, but his league leading takeaways goes a long way to mitigate any negative effect of his giveaways. His takeaway/giveaway ratio is good for 92nd percentile among the league’s forwards. He almost refused to block shots, and at first glance his GA/60 might be concerning, but upon further inspection we see that it is actually better than New England was as a whole. Still, will his offense and takeaways carry him to his first Dar win?

Graj Virrok

Graj returns to the Dar conversation after a two season hiatus since sinning in S72. With 55 goals and 57 assists, Virrok was an offensive powerhouse for the East’s leading Forge. League leading SF/60 and 98th percentile GF/60 hammer down the truth that Virrok should be a key award candidate in S76. Much like Lacksamus, Virrok is a trusted center on a dominant possession team, which explains a good bit of his high giveaway totals. Virrok may not have lef the league in takeaways, but he still found himself in the 92nd percentile of takeaways to attempt to mitigate the giveaway totals. He was in the 85th percentile of shot blocks which is a contrast from Lacksamus, and Virrok also has very respectable results in both GA/60 and SA/60. In both of those metrics, Virrok was better than Philadelphia was as a team. Positive relative Corsi and Fenwick also speak truth to Virrok’s stength on one of the league’s top teams, will all of this be enough to take home his second Dar award in his secon try?

Ryan Jesster (Best Rookie)
My sincerest apologies to the rookies, I had this section typed up on the plane but it apparently did not save. I will get this updated after the weekend, and unfortunately after the awards show.

---

Aidan Richan (Most Improved)
The following section was written by Awards Committee member CapnCooper!

---

The Aidan Richan is awarded to the player voted as most improved by the Awards Committee! This season we had three prime examples of players who have worked hard and had a fantastic season and now have an opportunity to win as the most improved player! Let's have a look at those nominees.

Nathaniel Barca
First up, from the Philadelphia Forge, is Nathaniel Barca. Barca had a great season in Philly and is only looking to get better. The Right handed Defenseman made a number of improvements this season! Last season they scored 3 goals and 27 assists, good enough for 30 points total. This season Barca made a major step forward and showed off his offensive capabilities with 13 goals and 46 assists totalling 59 points! a 29 point difference from the previous season! Nearly double is pretty dang impressive! Along with all those points, they improved their +/- from 31 to 59, increased their power play presence going from just 3 points on the power play to 22! A 19 point increase! Besides the offensive upside, Barca also kept steady in his defensive role improving their GA/TA ratio from 18/56 to 11/47, blocking 115 shots, up 55 from last season and on top of all that, they also won a fight!

Austin Morley
Now looking at our not too distant neighbors to the North East in Manhattan, another rising star started making a name for themselves! With only their 3rd season in the SHL, Morley made a tremendous jump in improvement! From going to a two season 40 point scorer, which is nothing to be ashamed of, to an 80 point player is incredible! Morley finished the season with 82 points! That’s 36 goals, an increase of 24 from the season below, and 46 assists, 12 more than before. Autins really found their scoring touch this season and will definitely be a player to watch in the future.

Jack St. Clair
Finally, traveling further up North, we are now in Edmonton where lots of eyes have been on Jack St. Clair! Now Jack wasn’t really a quiet player the previous season as he was only 5 points away from 100. But this season, St. Clair made that jump over 100 points for the first time in their career and finished off with 116, a 21 point improvement! The biggest difference this season was St. Clair’s passing. They jumped from 50 to 71 assists this season and kept the same goals scored at 45. Another big difference for St. Clair this season was some of his defensive play. While having only 25 takeaways last season, St. Clair improved his number to 68! He is certainly becoming a more reliable offensive player who can at least get the puck back if he loses it.

Lance Uppercut (Best GM Duo)
Edmonton Blizzard
HabsFanFromOntario and Eggcracker have spearheaded the Blizzard rebuild and reign of dominance since the acquisition of Eggcracker from the Toronto North Stars before his player’s call-up to the SHL. On Edmonton’s S75 roster there were seven players drafted by the organization: Jack St. Clair (first round, second overall), Oles Kobliska (first round, seventh overall), Benjamin Surkhi-Ze’Ev (first round, twelfth overall), Luke Laraque (first round, sixth overall), Julian Eaglesong (first round, fifteenth overall), Emil Eglie (first round, fifth overall), and Justin Time (first round, sixth overall). Theodore Svatos was HFFO’s player and was automatically drafted to the team. In terms of acquisitions, Edmonton was an acquisition heavy team having acquired six of their players by trade and two by free agency. Evan Winter, former MVP winner, signed with the Blizzard after leaving the Calgary Dragons while Luc Blouin joined fairly recently to round out their blue line. All in all, the Blizzard have done a fantastic job rebuilding this team and have been one of the toughest outs since their big offseason in S69. Where is the downside? The acquisition of Alvin Wong resulted in the Blizzard getting punished for tampering. Still, there is no denying that the Blizzard have timed their trades well and hit the mark on players that they drafted, even formerly drafted players Edzus Ozolins and Antoine Beauregard are thriving around the league. Will this be enough for the first Uppercut win for the HFFO/Eggcracker duo?

Los Angeles Panthers
I know, I know, I’m writing about my team here. Still, it isn’t just my team, Whitecap has been my Co-General Manager for a long time and deserves a heap of credit for how successful this team is, regardless of whether or not we win this award. Regardless, I’m just going to stick to an objective outline of the roster and let you, and the committee, come to their own conclusions. Looking at the S75 roster of the Panthers, ten players were drafted by the organization, not counting my player Aleksi Kettu, who was auto-drafted as a GM player. Of those ten drafted players, seven were first rounders and three were second rounders. The first rounders were Oliver Castillon (sixth overall), Georg N’Zola (third overall), Ray Alexander (nineteenth overall), Derek Martin (third overall), Adam Prpich (fourth overall), Reed Kobo (eleventh overall), and Yannick Svoboda (seventeenth overall). Svoboda is Whitecap’s player, but when Whitecap was drafted he was not yet the Co-GM, so he was not drafted via the protected Co-GM pick. The three second rounders are Andren Akerson (24th overall), Nathan Meagher (22nd overall), and Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz (22nd overall). Five players were trade acquisitions, with no true free agency signings, though there were some sign-and-trades. Both Alexi Piastri and Rasmus Bergling were acuired by sign-and-trade last offseason from Minnesota and Chicago respectively. The S75 postseason was not a factor in the voting discussion, but heading into the playoffs as the second overall team in the league, the Panthers had already cemented themselves as Cup contenders. They last won a Cup in S65 before entering a rebuild, and now find themselves back at the top ten seasons later. Straying a bit from objectivity here, I would say that was a fairly efficient rebuilding process.

Texas Renegades
CapnCooper and Anthique have once again solidified Texas as a force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference. Looking at their roster configuration, they find themselves in an almost identical situation to Los Angeles with ten drafted players on their roster, not including their backup goalie. Among these drafted players is Cooper’s player, Dirty Boots, who was selected nineteenth overall in the S62 draft, five seasons before his hiring to run the franchise. As for the rest of the drafted players, two were selected in the second round: Mart on Diehm (24th overall) and Patrice Bergeron (26th overall). The other eight were selected in the first round: David-Arturri Donskoi (sixteenth overall), Pawter Meowski (eighteenth overall), James Dion (twentieth overall), Jack McCarthy (fifteenth overall), Chris Valentine (sixteenth overall), Hodor (sixth overall), an Anthony Dionne (twelfth overall). With only one top-ten pick, the Renegades lead this group with the most rostered players drafted by their current franchise outside of the top-ten in their draft. They didn’t stop there, though, having acquired five other players by trade, one by free agency, and another by sign-and-trade. While some people have questioned their trades, Cooper and the Renegades should feel quite comfortable and confident with their results thus far having solidified themselves as legitimate threats.

Joe McKeil (Best Coach)
Baltimore Platoon
In Baltimore, they headed into the season with a few key concerns in their roster, and by season’s end they practically silenced those concerns. Hhh and the Baltimore coaching staff have once again found ways to bring their group together and perform well above expected in some key areas. Finishing fifth overall in the league, the Platoon finished with the sixth most goals scored, sixth least goals allowed, and fifth best goal differential. For a team with only one defenseman over 1300 TPE, this was an absolutely stellar performance from their group.

Los Angeles Panthers
In Los Angeles, they headed into the season with the league’s top-TPE group on the blue line, yet almost halfway into the season found themselves in the bottom half of the league in goals allowed with their offense carrying the weight. Some major discussions needed to be had, and after a key tactical change and defensive pairing swaps, the Panthers went on a tear that saw them end the season on a thirteen-game winning streak. While postseason results were not taken into account during voting discussions, it should be highlighted that this tactical change also helped propel them to a 16-1-1 record in the postseason, for a combined 29-1-1 run to end their season.

San Francisco Pride
San Francisco is spearheaded with one of the league’s top FHM minds, Caleb. He has taken things to a whole other level by spending time outside of the league watching videos and reading articles about each different tactic, how they work in real life, what positions need to excel at which aspects of hockey, and how it all works together to help influence his line decisions with the Pride. In S74, the Pride upset both the Panthers and Blizzard en route to their first Western Conference Final in some time (NOTE: this was not a factor in voting discussion). Caleb is always looking for the minor adjustments to help push his team over the edge, and isn’t afraid of going against the current tactical meta to do so. With a roster that is top-5 in the league in overall TPE this upcoming season, the league should be on watch.

Littleton (Most Dedicated)
With my name coming up in the discussions for this award, I recused myself from the conversation surrounding this award. On top of that, the following section was written by none other than current SMJHL Awards Head Schwarz!
Fuzz
Over the past several years, Fuzz has been a beacon within this league. As an SHL GM, member of SMJHL Head Office, and helping to run the awards committee among other countless efforts, he has consistently given to this community. In more recent seasons, Fuzz has generated and completely reinvigorated the Awards process with incredible Awards cards, compiling and displaying the data in an easy to digest manner, which has helped tremendously in our award discussions. Additionally, the writeups that he provides as a narrative for each award is beyond compare. Congratulations for the Nomination, Fuzz.

Card Team
Recently the cards team, and in specific, Carpy and Enigmatic have generated an incredible series of cards, especially over the past season. Between 1OA cards and Hall of Fame sets, and always brewing something new, along with everything else that Ice Level has to offer, these two have been a powerhouse over the past season to continue the card making process for the community. Congratulations for the Nomination, Carpy and Enigmatic.

BBJYGM
If you've used the PT reminder bot, you have BBJYGM, or Yogurt Loaf, to thank. Along with helping to run the SMJHL trades and more recently, becoming an SHL Head Office intern, BBJYGM has continued to contribute in invaluable ways. Almost every team and so many players in the league utilize his PT reminder bot to help them stay on task and continue to earn. Congratulations for the Nomination, BBJYGM.

Lifetime Update
These three Littleton Nominees are just a few in a wide range of users who have created incredible contributions over the past 75 years. It is with this in mind, that the awards committee would like to continue and bring back the Lifetime Achievement Award, working to rename and consider the contributions of users, especially after the past 25 seasons. Watch the awards ceremony for more!

Ron Mexico (Committee MVP)
Aleksandr Iskandrov

Iskandrov finds himself nominated for an award for the first time in his career, and what a first award to be nominated for. An utterly impressive season out of him as a winger, Aleks netted 59 goals for the Steelhawks, setting a career high in that category for him. With 53 assists, he combined for 112 points as a winger, which is hard to do in today’s FHM. He didn’t just rely on powerplay points, however, as he was in the 98th percentile for even strength points with 82. His GF/60 and SF/60 were both impressive by league standards and better than the Steelhawks as a whole. While his GA/60 and SA/60 did not shine in the eyes of the league, he was better than the Steelhawks as a whole in both of those categories as well. Contributing to 34% of the Steelhawks overall offense, Iskandrov hopes this standout performance is enough to bring home some hardware.

Adam Prpich

The Panthers top line center returns to defend his Mexico win from S74 in his fifth overall award nomination. Prpich aims to be the second consecutive player to win the award back-to-back, following in the footsteps of Wolfpack cornerstone Ivan Lacksamus. At a glance, it very much seems like he is poised to do just that having fallen just fallen short of a goal-per-game season with 64 goals. His 66 assists are very much nothing to scoff at as he places in the 98th percentile there, too. His 130 combined points set a career high for him. His 89 even strength points lead the league, and even adjusted to his ice time he is still the league leader in goals and points per-60. Prpich has really started to improve his puck protection numbers, finishing better than league average in giveaways and finishing in the 94th percentile for giveaways, which is good for a 92nd percentile ratio. His 27 penalty minutes were below league average, too, and he was better than the Panthers in each of GF/60, SF/60, GA/60, and SA/60.

Jack St. Clair

The President’s Trophy winning point leader finds himself, much like Iskandrov, nominated for an award for the first time in his career. The league leader in assists with 71, St. Clair also found the back of the net 45 times, which is absolutely nothing to scoff at. His 116 points land him in second overall in the league. A 99th percentile finish in takeaways lands him a positive Takeaway/Giveaway ratio, something that has proven to be extremely difficult for forwards to manage. His GA/60 and SA/60 are both among the league’s best as well as being better than the Blizzard as a whole. Much like Prpich, St. Clair did all of this averaging jus over 21 minutes a night, something that, while in the 83rd percentile, doesn’t land him among the league’s most minute-eating forwards. St. Clair put up quite the impressive season, and it will come as a surprise to most Awards fans that he isn’t nominated for the Jeff Dar, but I think St. Clair would be okay if he came home with the Mexico instead.

---

With the Sarmad Khan, there is only one player who was not mentioned in the Ron Mexico conversation that did find himself in the Khan conversation: Graj Virrok.

Virrok led the East’s top team in points this season with 55 goals and 57 assists for a combined 112 points. As mentioned in the Jeff Dar conversation, Virrok was an absolute fiend in the defensive zone, too, with GA/60 and SA/60 rates that were not only much better than league average, but were also better than the Forge as a whole. Contributing to 31% of Philadelphia’s overall offense and possession rates that show he was better for the Forge on the ice than off the ice, Virrok had an absolute mastermind season in all zones. This is Virrok’s third award nomination, and first time being nominated for the Khan.

Congratulations to all award nominees!
