Matthew Andonovski
The Herchenrader Family Award
This award was donated by former Director Alf Herchenrader and his family. As the old saying goes, defence wins championships. Certainly, without it, it makes the road to winning a lot more difficult. Whether it be a quarterback on the powerplay, or a speedy sniper who jumps into the rush, a well-rounded blueliner is a focal point to the success of any club.

Carson Campbell
Les Bradley Award
Named after longtime Rangers trainer Les Bradley. Bradley was a mainstay on the bench from 1969-1986, then after retiring as the team trainer, spent more than 15 years as a team ambassador in the press room.
The Les Bradley Memorial Award is presented to the team’s most improved player, this year going to Carson Campbell.
His relentless pursuit of improvement, both in skill and mindset, has not gone unnoticed by his teammates, coaches, and supporters. It was evident the dedication he put into being a high contributor to this club by staying on the ice late to work on skills and putting in full effort shift in and shift out. Carson became a player that was truly missed when he was not in the lineup.
