Bozak, the Grizzlies Team Captain was the league's top scorer with 128 points. He also broke the record for all-time single season scoring, which had been held by Kyle Greentree. Bozak will be heading off to the University of Denver for the 2007-2008 season.
Tyler Bozak also won the “Columbia Fuels 3 Star Selection”. He was selected the number one star more times than any player on the island and received $1500 towards his scholarship from Columbia Fuels President Jim Smith. (shown in picture above).
“It is great to see someone like Tyler Bozak with the #1 star award. Tyler is one of the most complete players I have had the pleasure of coaching and we wish him the best," commented Head Coach, Rylan Ferster.

The guy giving Bozak the trophy the same Jim Smith that played defense for the Pios in the early and mid-80s. Cool to see Smitty again!
Thats awesome.
Smith was no slouch as a player. He scored 32 goals and had 91 assists for the Pioneers in 156 games.
He also played a big part in DU's march to the Frozen Four in 1986.
Can't wait to see Bozak in a Pio uniform this coming season......
Twister,
Especially since the player that Bozak beat out for the BCHL scoring title, Kyle Turris, was just ranked by Redline as the #1 NHL prospect for the upcoming NHL Draft.
