For the 1st time in franchise history a Wolverine is taking home the honours of league MVP and for the 2nd straight season the Top Goaltender award..
Zac Onyskiw is being recognized for his record setting season between the pipes for Whitecourt. This year he posted a league best in wins (26), GAA (1.87) and SV% (.939) which is now the AJHL Record, beating the previous mark held since 2013-14 by Jesse Gordichuk at .935%.
Head Coach / GM Shawn Martin had this to say “Zac has had a great 4 year AJHL career and it’s fitting that he finishes it off with an AJHL MVP and Top Goalie Award. ”
Onyskiw was also honoured previously this month, alongside goaltender partner Elliott Pratt for the Top Team Goaltenders Award given to the tandem with the lowest GAA in the AJHL.
Zac had this to say about his recent accolades “It is such an honour to win these awards and bring them back to such an amazing town and to the best organization in the AJHL. I would like to thank all of my teammates for helping me win these awards, I could not have done it without them. ”
Onyskiw remains thankful “I would like to thank my parents for their endless support, Shawn Martin, Bryson Traptow and the rest of the Wolverines coaching staff, as well as the Owners Cory and Terriann Masse for making this year possible.”
