SJHL PLAYER OF THE MONTH

Ian McNulty, Melville Millionaires

SJHL DEFENSEMAN OF THE MONTH

Josh Roach, Flin Flon Bombers

1992 D Josh Roach (Saskatoon SK) got off to a fiery start with his new team and that carries him to the RBC Defenseman Of The Month award.  Roach finished September/October by scoring 3-goals and 15-asssists in 14-games played.  Roach, former three year veteran with the Humboldt Broncos, recorded points in seven of his first eight games  and had a goal and nine assists in his first three games.

SJHL ROOKIE OF THE MONTH

Brett Boehm, Flin Flon Bombers

1994 F Brett Boehm (Martensville SK) paced all rookies with 10-goals and 6-assists in 12-games played during September/October to earn the RBC Rookie Of The Month.  The highly skilled forward has points in nine of his last ten games overall, and also enjoyed a stretch of multiple point games three times over a four game period stretching from September 25-October 12.  He had his first SJHL hat trick on September 25th against La Ronge.

SJHL GOALTENDER OF THE MONTH

Alex Wakaluk, Melville Millionaires

1993 G Alex Wakaluk (Bellevue AB), playing behind an inexperienced defense, backstopped the Millionaires to the league’s best record during the September/October playing period to win the RBC Goaltender Of The Month award.  Wakaluk went 9-1-0-1 with two shutouts, a 1.96-GAA and a .935-SPCT.  He goes into November on a personal five game winning streak and has posted a SPCT lower than .900 only once in a game this season.
