SJHL Player Of The YearDustin Stevenson, La Ronge Ice Wolves
1989 D Dustin Stevenson (Gull Lake SK) is the SJHL nominee for the CJHL Player Of The Year after a season in which he delivered 11-goals and 36-assists in 56-games while anchoring the Ice Wolves defense corps. Stevenson uses his 6’5” 220 lbs frame to play a Chris Pronger style of game and can dominate with his incredible gifted mix of size, strength, speed, and offensive instincts. The La Ronge captain is headed to St. Lawrence (NCAA Div I) this September.
Honorable Mention: Andrew Bodnarchuk, Humboldt Broncos
SJHL Most Valuable PlayerAndrew Bodnarchuk, Humboldt Broncos
1990 G Andrew Bodnarchuk (Saskatoon SK) has been chosen as the most valuable player to his team as he backstopped the Broncos to an 18-14-and-6 record to go along with a 2.82-GAA and .916-SPCT. The Broncos were an offensively challenged team and relied on Bodnarchuk to keep them in games on many nights as he had eight starts in which he faced 39 or more shots in a game.
Honorable Mention: Kyle Ireland, Notre Dame Hounds
SJHL Top DefensemanMike Alexander, La Ronge Ice Wolves
1989 D Mike Alexander (Campbell River BC) led all SJHL blueliners in scoring with 12-goals and 42-assists in 56-games in being selected as the top player in the league at his position. Alexander, despite being best known for his offensive skills, is an extremely underrated defensive defenseman as he’s often employed in as many key situations defensively as he is offensively.

How can you name a goalie whose team ends up fifth in their division as the most valuable player and to the first all star goalin. There were other players who deserve the award and their teams ended up alot higher in the standings and are still playing hockey. Whoever picks these awards had better rethink the process of awards.
i see your point, but i saw humboldt a few times this season, and bodnarchuk stood on his head. they were a young team and he saw a lot of shots, and if the broncos had average goaltending this year, they would have likely been behind nipawin.
Who's your pick for MVP?
I think Travis Janke (ND) deserves recognition, led the league in scoring, and had a ridiculous run in dec-jan that helped solidify the Hounds' 2nd place finish.
Good suggestion. Any one with scoring records, goaltending records, defencemen who helped their team to be higher in the standings. It just doesn't sit well with players that are more derserving of the award.
