2019-20 Play of the Year: “Porter’s Shootout Shutdown” vs. “Topper Backhands One By”

Make your voice heard! The Spokane Chiefs are asking you to decide on the 2019-20 Play of the Year (Runner-Up) presented by Pizza Factory. Check the Chiefs’ social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter & Instagram; @spokanechiefs) each day to view that day’s match-up and vote for which play you think should advance to the next round of the tournament. 16 will enter. Only one will be crowned the 2019-20 Play of the Year (Runner-Up) presented by Pizza Factory.

This year’s bracket is a battle for runner-up as we are preemptively crowning goaltender Lukas Parik‘s goal versus Kamloops on March 10 as the official 2019-20 Play of the Year presented by Pizza Factory. Parik’s remarkable score was the first goalie goal in Chiefs’ franchise history and marked the first time a goalie has scored and recorded a shutout in the same game in WHL history.

First-round voting is now open between:

• James Porter’s “Porter’s Shootout Shutout” on February 29 vs. Tri-City
• Luke Toporowski’s “Topper Backhands One By” on September 20 vs. Kamloops

Be sure to cast your vote via the Chiefs’ social media accounts (@spokanechiefs)!
