In one of the closest finishes in recent years, Lakehead Thunderwolves’ sophomore forward Tomas Soustal (Sternberk, Czech Republic) came out on top in the chase for the Molson Cup trophy for the 2019-20 season.
Molson Cup points are awarded to players that are selected as one of the Molson three stars of the game after Thunderwolves hockey home contests. Five points are awarded for a first-star selection, three points for a second star, and two points for a third.
For the second year in a row, junior forward Josh Laframboise (Thunder Bay, Ontario) finished in second place in the Molson Cup standings with 21 points, just one point back of Soustal’s total of 22. Daniel Del Paggio (Thunder Bay, Ontario), the winner of the trophy last season, finished in third place with 18 points.
As the top three players in the Molson Cup standings, Soustal, Laframboise and Del Paggio will each have their names inscribed on the trophy, which we be officially awarded in a pre-game ceremony early next season.
Fifth-year senior goalie Nic Renyard (Victoria, British Columbia) and freshman defenceman Kyle Auger (Thunder Bay, Ontario) rounded out the top five with 12 and 11 points respectively.
