With the regular season wrapped up, we can officially announce the winners of the statistically based trophies.
Taking the Brett Hull Trophy as the league’s leading scorer is Wenatchee Wild forward Jasper Weatherby. The product of Lummi Island, Wash. notched 37 goals and 37 assists for 74 points while playing all 58 games for the Wild. The second-year forward had 12-20-32 in 46 games last year.
Weatherby’s scoring title makes it back-to-back seasons for the top scorer coming from Wenatchee. Last season, Brendan Harris took the trophy after posting 23 goals and 75 assists for 98 points which helped him earn a scholarship to Bemidji State University.
Weatherby is committed to the University of North Dakota for next season.
On the goaltending front, the Wally Forslund Trophy goes to the league’s top tandem as determined by combined goals-against average. The Vernon Vipers’ duo of Ty Taylor and Anthony Yamnitsky paired up to post a 1.98 mark while sharing duties almost down the middle.
Taylor and Yamnitsky are the first goalie tandem not from Penticton to earn the Forslund Trophy since 2012.
Taylor has earned a scholarship to the University of New Hampshire for the 2019-2020 season.
