He also added 10 points in four playoff games and was named MVP of the Knights.

Jack Howatt • Round 5, 86th Overall
In his second season with the Charlottetown Knights, Howatt posted a 1.00 goals-against-average and a .955 save percentage while helping the Knights capture the PEI championship. The six-foot-one, 174-pound netminder was also recalled by the Titan back in November for a one week stint while the team dealt with injuries between the pipes, however Howatt did not see any game action.
