PENTICTON -- Expect Camrose Kodiaks' forward Joe Colborne to be named Canadian Junior A hockey player of the year. This award is presented annually to the best Junior A player throughout Canada.
Although there is no official word on the award, Sun Media has learned an announcement is expected soon.
Projected to be a first-round NHL draft pick this year, the lanky centre finished second in the AJHL regular-season scoring race with 90 points (33 G, 57 A in 55 games).
In the playoffs - entering last night's Game 4 of the Doyle Cup - the six-foot-four Calgary native has 20 points in 21 games.
Committed to the University of Denver next fall, the 18-year-old was an 90-95% average high school student.
Colborne is one of seven finalists for the award, which is officially called the RBC-Canadian Junior A Hockey League Player of the Year.
