North Stars captain Young wins MVP and player of year
It has been a season for the record books for Battlefords North Stars captain Layne Young, and yet, the season isn’t even over.
The Frenchman Butte native has recorded 35 goals and 70 assists in 55 games thus far, in his last year of junior, and because of that he was named Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League most valuable player (MVP) and player of the year.
Young currently has a 20-point lead for top scorer in the SJHL with 105 points and has 251 points in his three-year SJHL career, which is top-20 all-time.
This is not the first league award the 20-year-old has won, as he was named rookie of the year two seasons ago.
