The Toronto Maple Leafs and Philadelphia Flyers have to be very pleased with the progress made by their top prospects this season.
London Knights forward and Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick Mitch Marner has been named the Canadian Hockey League player of the year Saturday, while Brandon Wheat Kings defenseman and Philadelphia Flyers prospect Ivan Provorov earned defenseman of the year honors.
Including the OHL playoffs, Marner recorded 55 goals and 160 points in 75 games this past season, while Provorov scored 24 goals and totaled 86 points in 83 games on Brandon's blue line.
WHL goalie Carter Hart and OHL forward Alex Nylander - both of whom are draft eligible - earned goalie and rookie of the year awards, respectively.
