Defenceman - Anton Lindstrom, Seguin Huskies

The '94 Latvian native has been playing in Toronto for four years with the GMHL and is with his second year with the Attack.

Rookie - Zakk Bekolay, Bradford Bulls

Since joining the club near the end of September, Bekolay and the Bulls have gone 5-6-0, competing against the league's top teams. Bekolay has been a staple on the Bulls blueline, matched against the league's best players and still registering an impressive 10 points (4g, 6a) in his first 12 junior games.
