Allan McShane

It was a career year for Allan McShane with the Oshawa Generals. He hit 30 goals for the first time in his WHL career putting up more goals than helpers straying from his established standard. A highlight of his season came towards the end where McShane scored two goals and added three helpers. It was the highest point total in a game that he had since his five-assist night against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.

McShane was having a decent year before the Christmas break but really took off once he was promoted to the top line. What stood out the most were his two prominent ways of scoring. McShane can rip a shot with speed beating most goaltenders or drive the net to score in-tight fighting off swinging sticks and evading the opposition.

What will be interesting to see is how he far he steps his game up in the playoffs when the games become all the more intense.

Josh Brook

The 2018/19 season has been a good one for Josh Brook. It started with a strong showing for the Montreal Canadiens at training camp and the Rookie Tournament leading into a dominant regular season. Brook finished the season tied for first in points amongst defencemen in the WHL with Dawson Davidson scoring 16 goals and 59 assists for 75 points in 59 games. There were career-high milestones all around the board for Brook as his dynamic presence on the blueline was a large portion of Moose Jaw’s offence.
