Foster Nominated for SJHL MVP Award

Written by: Rory McGouran

Logan Foster is one of three players in the running for the Most Valuable Player in the SJHL.

The nominees were voted on by the coaches around the league and were announced on Tuesday, February 18th. Foster, who represents the Global Ag Risk Division, is joined by Yorkton’s Chantz Petruic and Flin Flon’s Cole Rafuse. Each award is represented by one player from each division.

Foster has been the motor that drives the offence for the Humbodlt Broncos all season long. He has suited up for every game this year, accumulating a team-high 69 points (27g, 42a) through 54 games played.

There will always be a debate regarding the difference between the Player of the Year Award and the MVP. Added emphasis for the MVP lies on the value that the individual brings to their respective team, and how drastically different the landscape would look with them absent. In the end, it may be tough to pry the award from Yorkton’s Chatz Petruic, who leads the league with 55 goals and 104 points. However, there may not be a more valuable player to their team than Logan Foster is to the Humboldt Broncos.

The final three will be voted on and decided by media members of the league.

Here are the rest of the end-of-year award nominees:
