From: Alberta Hockey League WebsiteThe Alberta Junior Hockey League has awarded Camrose Kodiaks forward & DU recruit Joe Colborne the 2008 Playoff MVP. Colborne and the Kodiaks captured the 2008 Enerflex Cup on Tuesday Night after eliminating the Fort McMurray Oil Barons in Game 7.
Colborne completed the 2008 AJHL Playoffs tied for first overall in League Scoring with 16 points (8 goals, 8 assists). Colborne contributed to the Kodiaks success as the top line center, and a key component of the Kodiaks powerplay and League leading penalty kill. He finished the 2007-2008 Regular Season with 90 points in 55 games, second overall in League scoring. The 18 year-old from Calgary, Alberta is currently in his second season with the Kodiaks. Colborne was also instrumental in advancing the Kodiaks to the 2007 Doyle Cup and capturing the 2007 AJHL Championship.
Colborne was ranked 30th among North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Rankings in January 2008, and has the potential to be selected in the first round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Joe Colborne has committed to attend the University of Denver for the 2008-2009 season. Colborne excels as a student at Battle River Online High School, an institution within Camrose Composite High School, where he attains a 90 - 95% Grade Point Average. “Anything less than 95% is a disappointment for him,” said Camrose Assistant Coach Miles Walsh. “Nobody (in Kodiaks’ history) has ever ever touched those grades.”

Thanks for the info on Camrose. The more I hear about Colborne and Ostrow the more excited I am about seeing them in a Pioneer uniform.
Looking forward to seeing Colborne next season and Ostrow in 2009.
I hope Colborne wears #57 at DU. :-)
Camrose will be tested in the Doyle Cup as the "road team."
