<div align="center">My Candidates as Based on STHS's Stars of The Game</div>

In Third
Carrick Murray

With 7 1sts, 4 2nds, and 1 3rd

Carrick had a dominant record of thirty wins, already enough to give him a strong bid for most valuable player, but he also adds 2.13 goals against average, an okay save percentage of 0.908 and an impressive seven shutouts while facing just over a thousand shots. Despite having a low saving percentage, this is the SMJHL, so it was enough to give him the best save percentage in the league, best GAA in the league, most shutouts and most wins while playing a lot of hockey and facing a reasonable, if not bloated amount of shots. Carrick was an essential part of his team's success.

In Second
Dani Forsberg

With 7 1sts, 6 2nds and 5 3rds

Dani Forsberg shined on a team lacking stars outside their first line, pairing and starter. Twenty-five goals, twenty-two assists making forty-seven points was enough for the goal-
scoring title by a slim margin, third in total shots, short by just six, a solid p/20 rating and even more, including hits and power-play success, the list of accolades just goes on and on for this kid. The Firebirds needed Forsberg for their success this year.

In First
Jimmy Wagner

With 8 1sts, 4 2nds and 4 3rds

Wagner looked good on a very good St. Louis squad, putting up twenty-nine wins, just one shy of Carrick's thirty, not to mention a save percentage and GAA close to Carrick's and five shutouts (2 short of Carrick). Although, Wagner did play less hockey (two-hundred minutes worth) and faced less shots because of this, one could argue that given those two-hundred minutes Wagner could come close to or surpass Carrick's superb numbers, and that's why Wagner's here . . . I guess.

The only thing I've learned is that the race for MVP is much closer than I thought.
