Young, Kleiboer nominated for SJHL year-end awards
Two Battlefords North Stars players are up for year-end awards.
The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) released the full list of nominees on Wednesday, and not surprisingly, North Stars captain Layne Young has been nominated for both player of the year and most valuable player (MVP), which are two separate awards.
Defenceman Levi Kleiboer has been nominated for defenceman of the year.
Young will go up against Nipawin Hawks defenceman Josh McDougall and Estevan Bruins forward Zach Goberis for MVP. Young is also vying for player of the year against McDougall and Melfort’s Loch Morrison.
